Evaluation of Harmonicity in Running Gait by the Use of Innovative Techniques of Video Analysis

Italy112 participantsStarted 2018-11-03

Plain-language summary

This study aims to demonstrate the use of a digital video analysis method to evaluate harmonicity of running gait, through an holistic approach. Furthermore, it explores the association of running gait harmonicity with running velocity and level of training and with running injuries risk .

Inclusion Criteria: * at least one year of running practice * minimum two day of running/week * minimum 20 km running/week * seasonal best on half marathon comprised between 1h20' and 2h00' * experienced in treadmill running practice * sport medical certificate Exclusion Criteria: * have suffered in the last three months of musculoskeletal disease * regular practice of sport activities different from running * acute or chronic osteoarticular diseases or, in general, other pathology limiting physical activities * use of drugs altering physical activity performance (hypnotic, psychoactive, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs e.g.).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
