Gait Analysis can be a hugely beneficial tool for runners, but often not for the reasons we are traditionally taught. Despite the popular use of Gait Analysis to screen runners for ‘biomechanical flaws’ to reduce running related injury and/or increase running performance, the success of such is often hit & miss. The fact that so many runners still get injured (or re-injured) is testimony to this. In this course, running injury & performance specialist Matt Phillips of runchatlive.com not only guides you through the traditional elements of Gait Analysis, but also draws upon research to highlight the limitations of a solely ‘biomechanical’ approach. With this in mind, attendees are then invited to consider evidence-informed ways that we can use a gait analysis service to help runners recovery from injury, reduce risk of future injury, and optimise performance.

The content of the course is flexible & weighted to the level and needs of participants. Overall, the following elements are included:
• Biomechanics of running – gait cycle, injury & performance
• Causes of running related injury – perceived vs. evidence based
• The relationship of Load, Injury & Pain
• Subjective & Objective Assessment
• Indoor Gait Analysis: 2D vs 3D
• Outdoor Gait Analysis
• Gait modification & re-education
• Strength training for runners
• Footwear – trainers & orthoses

Anyone with a Level 3 qualification or above is welcome to join the course, but attendees must be aware of their own personal scope of practice, as directed by their personal level of qualification. For example, to assess any injury, a minimum of Level 4 is required, so attendees without Level 4 would in theory be allowed to provide gait analysis as a means of offering symptom modification & support for a runner who has already been assessed for injury by a Level 4 therapist, and not be allowed to offer any form of clinical reasoning to identify the source of injury. Insurance providers will need to be made aware if this.
