Stability

Running phases

-initial contact

-load response

-propulsion

-float

-midswing

-terminal swing

What to look for in running

-slight fwd trunk lean

-tibia near perpendicular to ground at IC (lands under COG)

-neutral trunk with pelvis, hip, knee and ankle aligned in frontal

-good shock absorption

Ideal shock absorption at end of LR

-7-10 degrees fwd trunk lean

-30 deg of hip flexion

-40 deg of knee flexion

Other common running injuries

-head/spine: dysfunction, facet syndrome, costovertebral pain

-SIJ: dysfunction

-hip: lateral hip pain, proximal hs tendinopathy

-knee: patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), ITB syndrome, medial knee pain

-ankle: achilles tendinopathy,stress fx/medial compartment synndrome/shin splints

-foot: plantar fasciitis, flexor hallucis longus tendinopathy

Back handspring what to look out for

-good push off with large posterior transfer of COM

-smooth ext along entire spine and hips from "push off" to "handstand" phases

-knees extended from foot off to just before foot contact

-short timeframe of hand contact on ground (good UE power due to good LE push off)

other common gymnastics injuries

-head/spine: concussions, instability (spondylolisthesis)

-SIJ: dysfunction

-hip: labral tears, pincer/cam impingement

-knee: PFPS, ITB syndrome, medial knee pain, PCL tear

-ankle: achilles tendinopathy, chronic ankle sprains, stress fx

-foot: fx

-shoulder: labral tears, dislocations

-elbow/wrist: dislocations, fx, chronic wrist sprains

RED-S

-relative energy deficiency in sport

-have impact on MSK, endocrine, bone, psych
