How do we assess running biomechanics? Does it translate to practice? BJSM editor Tej Pandya chats with Chris Bramah (@chrisbramah), England Athletics physiotherapist and biomechanist based at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance. Chris is completing a PhD dissertation on the links between running gaits and running injuries.
They discuss:
- Biomechanics of elite running athletes
- Applying biomechanics to produce clinically relevant outcomes
- A case of ITB syndrome in runners: What’s the role of biomechanical assessment?
- Advances biomechanics technology
- How the clinician can use biomechanics to assess athletes
