Improve runner and patient outcomes by mastering the fundamentals of running gait analysis. In this three-module course, participants will learn how to systematically analyze running gait using evidence-based frameworks and apply their findings directly to patient care. Through practical instruction and clinical examples, this course bridges biomechanics with rehabilitation planning, giving clinicians the tools to translate gait observations into actionable treatment strategies that enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and support long-term running health.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
-
Identify key biomechanical variables relevant to running gait analysis and their implications for injury risk and performance.
-
Perform a structured running gait analysis using validated observational and video-based approaches.
-
Interpret gait findings and connect them to individualized treatment and rehabilitation strategies.
-
Apply gait analysis to develop patient-specific plans of care that improve clinical outcomes for runners and active patients.
-
Integrate gait analysis into ongoing patient management to monitor progress and guide return-to-run decisions.
