The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation (2020)
Thesis
Bramah, C. The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background: Running related injuries are influenced by a complex interaction between multiple factors. Running kinematic patterns represent one such factor which will influence the load applied to musculoskeletal structures during each foot contact o...

A 10% increase in step rate improves running kinematics and clinical outcomes in runners with patellofemoral pain at 4 weeks and 3 months (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Aberrant frontal plane hip and pelvis kinematics have been frequently observed in runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Gait retaining interventions have been shown to improve running kinematics and may therefore be beneficial in runner...

Journal Article
Preece, S., Bramah, C., & Mason, D. (2019). The biomechanical characteristics of high-performance endurance running. European Journal of Sport Science, 19(6), 784-792. https://doi.org/10.1080/17461391.2018.1554707

The biomechanical profile of high-level endurance runners may represent a useful model that could be used for developing training programmes designed to improve running style. This study, therefore, sought to compare the biomechanical characteristics... Read More about The biomechanical characteristics of high-performance endurance running.

Is there a pathological gait associated with common soft tissue running injuries? (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Previous research has demonstrated clear associations between specific running injuries and patterns of lower limb kinematics. However, there has been minimal research investigating whether the same kinematic patterns could underlie multi...

Are the arms and head required to accurately estimate centre of mass motion during running? (2016)
Journal Article

Accurate measurement of centre of mass (CoM) motion can provide valuable insight into the biomechanics of human running. However, full-body kinematic measurement protocols can be time consuming and difficult to implement. Therefore, this study was pe...

How do elite endurance runners alter movements of the spine and pelvis as running speed increases? (2016)
Journal Article

Elite endurance runners are characterised by their performance ability and higher running economy. However, there is relatively little research aimed at identifying the biomechanical characteristics of this group. This study aimed to understand how m...

A marker set for measuring the kinematics of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine during running : a technical note (2016)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Bramah, C., & Mason, D. (2016). A marker set for measuring the kinematics of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine during running : a technical note. Journal of Human Sport and Exercise, 11(3), 390-396. https://doi.org/10.14198/jhse.2016.113.07

A protocol for tracking the motion of the lumbar spine, which uses seven skin mounted markers, has been adopted in previous studies investigating running. However, this configuration of can be difficult to track with passive motion capture systems. T...

The coordinated movement of the spine and pelvis during running (2015)
Journal Article

Previous research into running has demonstrated consistent patterns in pelvic, lumbar and thoracic motions between different human runners. However, to date, there has been limited attempt to explain why observed coordination patterns emerge and how... Read More about The coordinated movement of the spine and pelvis during running.

A comparison of kinematic algorithms to estimate gait events during overground running (2014)
Journal Article

The gait cycle is frequently divided into two distinct phases, stance and swing, which can be accurately determined from ground reaction force data. In the absence of such data, kinematic algorithms can be used to estimate footstrike and toe-off. The...

Reproducibility of kinematic measures of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine and pelvis during fast running (2014)
Journal Article

This study evaluated the reproducibility of the angular rotations of the thoracic spine, lumbar, spine, pelvis and lower extremity during running. In addition, the study compared kinematic, reproducibility between two methods for calculating kinemati...
