Analyzing Running Gait: Factors to Consider

Good running mechanics not only allows competitive runners to perform at their peak, but it reduces the risk of injury in everyday runners who run for exercise, weight management, and just for the sheer joy of running. However, not all runners run on the same terrain, and many argue that assessing running gait on a treadmill does not give you a real-world picture of the subject’s everyday running style.

Call NYDNRehab today to schedule your running gait analysis session, and get ready to take your running to a whole new level.

Despite 10 years of experience with instrumented gait analysis, attending multiple running medicine conferences, certification in clinical biomechanics, and personal experience with Chris Powers, I decided to undertake this additional certification to ensure that no single detail concerning the assessment and treatment of running injuries escapes me.

Physical therapy and rehab can be time consuming,
and a faulty diagnosis can make treatment a total waste of time.

Failure to accurately diagnose a condition in its early stages can lead to chronic
problems and sometimes devastating results

Diagnostic musculoskeletal sonography (MSUS) provides the perfect tool for the rehab practitioner. Yet many doctors and physical therapists have no experience with MSUS, are unaware of its advantages, and have no idea how to use it as a diagnostic tool.

Below is a prime example of how ultrasound can take the guesswork out of diagnosis.

Most importantly,

we are the only facility in the US

where structural medical diagnosis is reflected in functional treatment, and vice versa.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.

Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.

The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
