    Excellent study just published in Gait and Posture:

    A prospective study of gait related risk factors for exercise-related lower leg pain

    T.M. Willems, D. De Clercq, K. Delbaere, G. Vanderstraeten, A. De Cock and E. Witvrouw

    Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to determine prospectively gait related risk factors for exercise-related lower leg pain (ERLLP) in 400 physical education students. Static lower leg alignment was determined, and 3D gait kinematics combined with plantar pressure profiles were collected. After this evaluation, all sports injuries were registered by the same sports physician during the duration of the study. Forty six subjects developed ERLLP and 29 of them developed bilateral symptoms thus giving 75 symptomatic lower legs. Bilateral lower legs of 167 subjects who developed no injuries in the lower extremities served as controls. Cox regression analysis revealed that subjects who developed ERLLP had an altered running pattern before the injury compared to the controls and included (1) a significantly more central heel-strike, (2) a significantly increased pronation, accompanied with more pressure underneath the medial side of the foot, and (3) a significantly more lateral roll-off. These findings suggest that altered biomechanics play a role in the genesis of ERLLP and thus should be considered in prevention and rehabilitation.​

    They got the Nike award at Cleveland ISB conference for that work.

    Here is a challenge for any students reading this...

    Look at the abstracts for the two studies above...what is the fundamental methodological design difference between them that substantially weakens the conclusions from one of them? (PS - its not sample size)

    One is prospective and the other is cross sectional. You can't imply causation from a cross sectional study.

    Hi Hylton Menz,

    the study seems good to me (Willems et al), however is it correct to attribute a group as a control after finding the pathologies? is that still considered randomised?

    Anyone know what model of foot type classification they used?

    Nevermind I found it - the Journal of Athletic Training is free/open access.

    I've attached it for those interested

    I used the Willems articles pretty extensively for my dissertation and if I remember correctly I'm pretty sure that they pooled their left and right foot results from subjects including using bilateral "injured" feet as 2 separate incidences. That obviously has some problems. But as my advisor always said "there are NO perfect studies.."

    Still 2 good articles and I applaud their efforts - I did a prospective study for my dissertation with a much smaller sample than they did and I know how flippin' hard it is to keep track of people over a time course.
