Running is becoming one of the most popular sports in Hong Kong. Number of competitions, as well as number of runners enrolled in these races are increasing.

While you are enthusiastic in running, do you know that you can get injured from running?

Is injury the reason for you to stop running?

Factor associated with running-related injuries:

1. Previous injury in last 12 months
2. Higher quadriceps angle of the knee (Q angle)
3. Training more than 64km weekly
4. Weekly running frequency:
   • For men, 3-7 times/ week
   • For women, 7 times/ week

Abnormal mechanics with lower limbs pain have been reported during running. Therefore, our Clinic would like to introduce a 3D gait analysis system to allow runners to run in a better form.

3D gait analysis system covers all essential aspects of running mechanics featuring running economy, temporal and spatial stride parameters, ground reaction force, gait kinematics and joint loading for injury risk assessment. It has a database of elite and normative data for comparison and it can generate comprehensive PDF report and video file for results sharing, aiming at gait retraining, injury prevention and performance enhancement.
