Evaluation and Treatment of Running Related Injuries: A Mechanobiological Perspective
November 8th, 2025 – Eugene, Oregon | 8 CEUs Available
.jpg)
Course Overview
Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, yet up to 80% of participants experience running-related injuries (RRI). This full-day course introduces a mechanobiological perspective to understanding, preventing, and treating RRI. Attendees will gain cutting-edge insights from current research and hands-on lab evaluation with advanced technology such as force-measuring wearables, surface EMG, and 3D motion capture.
