Gait Analysis and Spinal Rotation
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerEvery year, sixty-five percent of runners experience injury. This study looked to correlate the effects of spinal rotation with the impact forces on the feet and knees while jogging. For a group of 12 runners, force sensors, a spinal rotation device, and video were used for data collection. A musculoskeletal model used the resulting values to solve for the forces on the feet and knee joints. The results could not conclude that forces were reduced with increased spinal rotation.
