Understanding lower extremity joint coupling in running is crucial for injury prevention. This review explores current research and methods, highlighting the need for larger studies to clarify the link between running biomechanics and injury risk.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Running Science

Background:

  • The link between lower extremity mechanics and running injuries remains unclear.
  • Emerging research on joint coupling offers insights into running biomechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current research on lower extremity joint coupling during running.
  • To synthesize findings on measurement techniques and their relation to injury.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on running biomechanics and joint coupling.
  • Analysis of various measurement techniques: joint timing, rearfoot eversion/tibial internal rotation ratios, continuous relative phase, and vector coding.

Main Results:

  • Joint coupling may be influenced by orthotics and footwear.
