Running Biomechanics and the Injury Risk Relationship

In this episode of the How I Rehab podcast by Sports MAP we chat with Bryan Heiderscheit, a physical therapist with a doctorate in biomechanics. Bryan's research is aimed at understanding and enhancing the clinical management of orthopaedic conditions, with a particular focus on running related injuries. Byran is also Director of both UW Badger Athletic Performance, founder of UW Health Runners' Clinic and Co-director of UW Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory. In this episode we talk to: Bryan’s background as a PT and now his role at Wisconsin University Find our what current research projects are underway at Wisconsin. What to expect from Bryan at the Sports MAP's upcoming event in Boston, Fast track the injury runner What is running biomechanics? How can we analyze running biomechanics without expensive technology? What does the evidence say when it comes to key running biomechanics risk factors? Once we identify mechanics that may be contributing to injury, how do we go about changing this? If making changes to running mechanics, what is the difference in doing this with the reactional runners and the elite runner?
