By Dr Kevin Maggs (@runningreform<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n

The majority of patients in my clinic are runners. As a chiropractor, this may seem strange, but I have developed a niche due to my background in biomechanics and a penchant for running.<\/p>\n

I see a wide variety of conditions during a typical day, but at the same time, certain scenarios become repetitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre these shoes good for me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The question, \u201cAre these shoes good for me?\u201d or any variation of that theme is certainly one of the most commonly repeated questions. When you have a \u201cGroundhog day\u201d moment like that on a daily basis, you start looking for more efficient ways to handle it.\u00a0 Many patients respond well to visual learning, so I often search the web for appropriate media that fits with current evidence.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I am usually unable to\u00a0find\u00a0anything suitable.<\/p>\n

So, when I see a need for something, I try and fill that need.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve dabbled in 3D animation and use a free program called \u201cBlender\u201d, to make short, evidence based videos for my patients to watch. My hope is that these videos offer a well thought out visual explanation\/ representation\u2013\u00a0 and an improvement on what I could do \u201coff the cuff\u201d in the office.<\/p>\n

Here is a sample of these videos:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Tendon Compression:<\/a><\/strong> Tendons are particularly vulnerable at sites where they wrap around and are compressed by bony protuberances. During the initial stages of treatment, it is often important that patients understand this concept and try to avoid positions or exercises that may increase compression.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/118162021<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a BJSM review by Jill Cook and Craig Purdam that examines the potential role of compressive loads in the onset and perpetuation of tendinopathy and more: Is compressive load a factor in the development of tendinopathy?<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0The Science?? of Prescribing Running Shoes:<\/a><\/strong> an article in the BJSM asked if prescription of distance running shoes is evidence based?<\/em><\/strong><\/a> This video is a patient friendly version that everyone should understand.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/126720173<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Increasing Anterior Ankle Impingement by Limiting Pronation:<\/a><\/strong> In order to fully understand this video, I would highly recommend reading the accompanying blog post (found here<\/a>) which fully explains the concepts.<\/p>\n

I frequently encounter patients suffering from anterior ankle impingement, running in zero drop shoes or shoes and orthotics that limit midfoot pronation.\u00a0 I use this video to explain why this is probably a poor choice.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/65147465<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Craigs Test:<\/a><\/strong>The idea of femoral anteversion isn\u2019t easy to understand without some visuals.\u00a0 This video is very helpful.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/63363312<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Hamstring Tension During Running<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong> This video explains various factors of sagittal plane position of the pelvis will affect hamstring tension during running.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/57471152<\/a><\/p>\n

This BJSM Hamstring podcast cluster<\/em><\/strong><\/a> gives you the opportunity to hear from the hamstring experts.\u00a0 I would highly recommend these!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0The Forward Lean Reducing PFPS Forces<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>This is one of the first videos I ever made, and so the quality isn\u2019t that great, but it still does the job. There are studies that report increased trunk flexion angle will reduce patellofemoral joint forces.\u00a0 While this is true, this video demonstrates an alternative.\u00a0 Since I published this video and related blog in 2012, further studies have supported the notion that a forward lean reduces knee forces, but increases hip\/low back forces.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/vimeo.com\/55939317<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to above, have a listen to present-day expert in PFP, Associate Professor Kay Crossley on treatment for patellofemoral pain in this BJSM podcast.<\/em><\/strong><\/a> She discusses (i) the outcomes of the 3rd International Patellofemoral Retreat (BJSM 2014, see below), (ii) the best PFP treatments and evidence for them as well as (iii) new insights into knee pain after ACL reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Ideas for further videos?\u00a0 I\u2019m open to suggestions. Contact me here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
