Introduction: Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common orthopedic knee problems in runners. The Pose model is an instructor-led gait training program that aims to modify gait to reduce the risk of injury. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the immediate effect of modifying the running kinematic pattern using the Pose model on kinematic factors associated with patellofemoral pain in runners.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a field trial in which 20 healthy runners were divided into two groups: a control group and a gait retraining group using the Pose method. Running retraining was taught for 30 minutes, and lower limb kinematic variables including trunk angle, contralateral hip drop angle, dynamic knee valgus, knee flexion angle, and ankle dorsiflexion angle were recorded before and after the Pose intervention. SPSS20 software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that using the Pose model can improve the running kinematic pattern, so that in the intervention group, the trunk angle on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.656, the hip drop angle on the opposite side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.737,the dynamic knee valgus on the left side (P<0.02) with an effect size of 0.428 and on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.583,and the maximum knee flexion angle on the left side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.746 and on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.600.
Conclusion: retraining the running pattern using the Pose method as immediate feedback can affect the two-dimensional kinematics of the pelvic girdle and knee joints and improve their performance.
