“Fixing” Runner’s Knee

Context: Runner’s knee is a very common injury. Six studies looked at if changing running form can reduce knee pain.

Results:

• Runner’s knee was improved significantly by changing running form.

• Focus form change on not allowing the knees to move inward towards the other leg.

Conclusion: Change running form by increasing stride rate or by using visual/verbal cues of not allowing knees to move inward. Other tools, say specific exercises, may also be important.
