Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Literature review revealed no studies on retro running (backward running) causing ischial tuberosity enthesopathy.
  • This case study addresses an atypical presentation of enthesopathy linked to retro running.

Observation:

  • A female runner with bilateral patellofemoral pain initiated retro running and stationary bicycling.
  • She developed bilateral ischial tuberosity enthesopathy, confirmed by bone scan.
  • Symptoms resolved with physical therapy, allowing return to forward jogging but not retro running.

Findings:

  • Retro running may be a causative factor in ischial tuberosity enthesopathy.
  • This condition, though atypical, warrants further investigation into its biomechanical underpinnings.
  • Individual responses to altered running mechanics can vary significantly.

Implications:

  • Highlights the need for research into the kinetics and kinematics of retro running.
  • Emphasizes the importance of proactive injury prevention strategies by health professionals.
  • Suggests caution and further study before recommending retro running as a therapeutic or training modality.
