TLDR
Identifying a pronated foot type prior to training may help reduce the incidence of medial tibial stress syndrome by early intervention to control abnormal pronation.Abstract:
PurposeTo identify the incidence of medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) in a group of naval recruits undergoing a 10-week basic training period and to determine potential risk factors.MethodOne hundred and twenty-four recruits (84 men and 40 women) were followed prospectively during basic training. Anthropometric and lower limb biomechanical data were recorded at the start of the program along with injury history and previous sporting activity for the 3 months prior to enlisting. Recruits were monitored during training for development of medial tibial strees syndrome and were asked to complete an exit interview at the end of the program.ResultsForty recruits (22 men and 18 women) developed medial tibial stress syndrome, giving an incidence of 35%. A significant relationship existed between gender and medial tibial stress syndrome (P= .012), with female recruits more likely to develop medial tibial stress syndrome than male recruits (53% vs 28%). A risk estimate revealed a relative risk of 2.03. The biome...read more

Development and validation of a novel rating system for scoring standing foot posture: the Foot Posture Index.
TL;DR: The Foot Posture Index assessment is quick and simple to perform and allows a multiple segment, multiple plane evaluation that offers some advantages over existing clinical measures of foot posture.

Normative values for the Foot Posture Index.
TL;DR: A set of population norms for children, adults and older people have been derived from a large sample and may assist in classifying foot type for the purpose of research and clinical decision making.

A prospective study of gait related risk factors for exercise-related lower leg pain
TL;DR: It is suggested that altered biomechanics play a role in the genesis of ERLLP and thus should be considered in prevention and rehabilitation.
Factors contributing to the development of medial tib-ial stress syndrome in high school runners
TL;DR: The study supported the hypothesis that a pronatory foot type is related to MTSS and revealed the combination of sex and navicular drop test measures provides an accurate prediction for the development of M TSS.

Autologous Platelets Have No Effect on the Healing of Human Achilles Tendon Ruptures: A Randomized Single-Blind Study
TL;DR: The results suggest that PRP is not useful for treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures, and the variation in elasticity modulus provides biologically relevant information, although it is unclear how early biomechanics is connected to late clinical results.

TL;DR: Almost 60% of the patients were men, but women under age 30 had the greatest risk of overuse running injuries, and patellofemoral pain syndrome was the most common injury.

TL;DR: Clinical symptoms, such as pain with daily ambulation and physical examination findings, including localized tibial tenderness and pain with direct or indirect percussion, that correlated with more severe tibia stress injuries were identified.

Intrinsic risk factors for exercise-related injuries among male and female army trainees
TL;DR: It is concluded that female gender and low aerobic fitness measured by run times are risk factors for training injuries in army trainees, and that other factors such as prior activity levels and stature may affect men and women differently.

TL;DR: A number of risk factors were identified, including older age, smoking, previous injury (sprained ankles), low levels of previous occupational and physical activity, low frequency of running before entry into the Army, flexibility (both high and low), low physical fitness on entry, and unit training (high running mileage).

TL;DR: It is concluded that jogging injuries are frequent, that the number of firmly established etiologic factors is low, and that, in recom mending jogging, moderation should be the watchword.
