Biomechanical factors associated with tibial stress fracture in female runners

Article Abstract:

Tibial stress fractures are among the most serious running injuries, typically requiring 6-8 week for recovery and a study is conducted to determine whether difference in structure and running mechanics exist between trained distance runners with a history of prior tibial stress fractures and those who have never sustained a fracture. The result reveals that the data indicate that a history of tibial stress fractures in runners is associated with increase in dynamic loading-related variables.

Q-angle influences on the variability of lower extremity coordination during running

Article Abstract:

An investigation suggests that a difference in continuous relative phase variability does not seem to exist in the lower extremity between individuals with and without abnormal quadriceps (Q) angles. The significant differences among the stance pattern intervals of running suggest the inherent presence of coordination pattern variability. The importance of the increased pattern variability during initial stance may be connected with keeping external stability.

Ground reaction forces, bone characteristics, and tibial stress fracture in male runners

Article Abstract:

This article explores whether runners with histories of stress fractures differ significantly in tibial bone geometry. Male runners with tibial stress fracture history showed smaller cross-sectional and bone areas, suggesting bone geometry has a role in overuse injuries.
