Article Synopsis
- Tibial bone stress injuries (BSIs) are prevalent in long-distance runners, often recurring and complicating effective management and return to running.
- The review aimed to identify criteria for resuming running after a tibial BSI and to establish evidence-based guidelines, analyzing 50 studies with diverse methodologies to form recommendations.
- Key components for a successful return include the resolution of pain, evidence of healing, strength and functional tests, and a collaborative decision-making process among clinicians, coaches, and athletes, followed by a gradual, individualized return to running strategy.
Objectives: To examine the effectiveness of real-time haptic feedback gait retraining for reducing resultant tibial acceleration (TA-R) with runners, the retention of changes over four weeks, and the transfer of learning to overground running.
Design: Case control.
Setting: Biomechanical laboratory treadmill, and track-based overground, running.
The influence of running velocity on resultant tibial acceleration in runners.

Tibial acceleration is a surrogate measure for impact loading and might be useful for identifying lower limb fatigue injury in runners. The resultant tibial acceleration calculated from all three axes of a triaxial accelerometer provides a single metric that is independent of the sensor orientation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between resultant tibial acceleration and running velocity, and to establish a normative database of tibial acceleration profiles.

Due to potential injury links, particularly tibial fatigue fractures, tibial acceleration is also used as a clinical monitoring metric. There are contributing factors and potential limitations that must be considered before widespread implementation.

Triaxial accelerometers may offer reliable and practical measurement of resultant peak tibial acceleration (PTA). With such potential in mind, this study examined variability and measurement reliability of tibial acceleration in 14 runners at baseline at one week, and eight of the runners again at six months.
