Impact loading has been associated with running-related injuries, and gait retraining has been suggested as a means of reducing impact loading and lowering the risk of injury. However, gait retraining can lead to increased perceived awkwardness and effort. The influence of specifically trained and self-selected running gait modifications on acute impact loading, perceived awkwardness and effort is currently unclear. Sixteen habitual rearfoot/midfoot runners performed forefoot strike pattern, increased step rate, anterior trunk lean and self-selected running gait modifications on an instrumented treadmill based on real-time biofeedback. Impact loading, perceived awkwardness and effort scores were compared among the four gait retraining conditions. Self-selected gait modification reduced vertical average loading rate (VALR) by 25.3%, vertical instantaneous loading rate (VILR) by 27.0%, vertical impact peak (VIP) by 16.8% as compared with baseline. Forefoot strike pattern reduced VALR, VILR and peak tibial acceleration. Increased step rate reduced VALR. Anterior trunk lean did not reduce any impact loading. Self-selected gait modification was perceived as less awkward and require less effort than the specifically trained gait modification (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that self-selected gait modification could be a more natural and less effortful strategy than specifically trained gait modification to reduce acute impact loading, while the clinical significance remains unknown.

Foot Strike Pattern, Step Rate, and Trunk Posture Combined Gait Modifications to Reduce Impact Loading during Running
Huang, Yangjian; Xia, Haisheng; Chen, Gang; Cheng, Sulin; Cheung, Roy T.H.; Shull, Peter B. (Elsevier Ltd., 2019)Elevated impact loading can be detrimental to runners as it has been linked to the increased risk of tibial stress fracture and plantar fasciitis. The objective of this study was to investigate the combined effects of foot ... -
Deep learning approach for prediction of impact peak appearance at ground reaction force signal of running activity
Girka, Anastasiia; Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Äyrämö, Sami (Taylor & Francis, 2020)Protruding impact peak is one of the features of vertical ground reaction force (GRF) that is related to injury risk while running. The present research is dedicated to predicting GRF impact peak appearance by setting a ... -
Running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness and amplifies impact loading
Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Kosonen, Jukka; Nurminen, Jussi; Avela, Janne (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Running shoe cushioning has become a standard method for managing impact loading and consequent injuries due to running. However, despite decades of shoe technology developments and the fact that shoes have become ... -
A test of the effort equalization hypothesis in children with cerebral palsy who have an asymmetric gait
Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Haakana, Piia; Nurminen, Jussi; Ylitalo, Elina; Niemelä, Tuula; Marttinen Rossi, Essi; Mäenpää, Helena; Piitulainen, Harri (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)Healthy people can walk nearly effortlessly thanks to their instinctively adaptive gait patterns that tend to minimize metabolic energy consumption. However, the economy of gait is severely impaired in many neurological ... -
Individual Region- and Muscle-specific Hamstring Activity at Different Running Speeds
Hegyi, Andras; Goncalves, Basilio; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Cronin, Neil (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019)Introduction: Hamstring strain injuries typically occur in the proximal biceps femoris long head (BFlh) at high running speeds. Strain magnitude seems to be the primary determinant of strain injury, and may be regulated ...
