U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07557797) titled 'Gait Retraining for Runners With Patellofemoral Pain' on April 16.
Brief Summary: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common overuse injury in runners. Increased patellofemoral joint stress (PFJS) is an important biomechanical factor associated with PFP. Gait retraining, especially cadence modification, may reduce PFJS and improve symptoms, but evidence from randomized controlled trials remains limited. This study investigated whether wearable device-assisted gait retraining was more effective than education alone in reducing pain, improving function, and altering running biomechanics in female runners with PFP.
