Abstract

AIM – A lot of recreational and competitive runners develop running related injuries. The aim of this research is to improve the gait of the runners with the help of the 3D Gait system. At the same time the improving of the gait will improve the injury index score, which is manufactured by the 3D Gait software. DESIGN – pilot study. METHOD – 20 healthy people were examined with the help of the 3D Gait system. All participants ran at each measurement at a speed of 9 km/h. They got markers on the feet, shank, thigh and pelvis. Before each measurement the participants ran 4 minutes at a speed of 9 km/h to warm up, after that the measurement started. After the first measurement feedback, generated with the help of the report made by the 3D Gait software, was given to the participants. The parameters on which feedback was given were: Step frequency, step width, pelvic drop, knee rotation, knee flexion and toe out angle. After the feedback another 4 minutes of warming up was done and the second measurement was started. After one month the 3 measurements took place at exactly the same way as the previous two measurements. RESULTS – A significant improvement between the injury index measured at measurement 1 and 2, but also a significant improvement between measurement 1 and 2 for the secondary outcome, the hip, were found. Besides that, participants with running injuries in their history made a significant higher score than the participants without running injuries in their history. The feedback given at the hip made the score significantly improve between the three measurements. CONCLUSION – This research shows that feedback with the help of 3D Gait the injury index can be improved, but this improvement does not remain after 1 month.
