Study Notes
- Running gait increases range of motion across all joints.
- Knee does not fully extend in mid/terminal stance compared to walking.
- Ankle dorsiflexion peaks at midstance in running.
- Hip adduction occurs during both float phases in running.
- Hip stability is inversely related to patellofemoral pain.
- Pelvis externally rotates in transverse plane during running.
- Running relies on elastic energy stored and released by muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.
- Walking relies on cyclic transfer of potential and kinetic energy over extended stance limb.
- Running gait minimizes loss of speed.
- Kinematics differ between walking and running.
