“…The finding that foot strike pattern was not a predictor of AT RRI was confirmed by the results of the logistic regression for the variable ankle angle during initial contact (Table 2), which can be considered as variables describing foot strike patterns. 51,60 The current systematic review study by Willwacher et al 33 does not show that foot strike pattern is a potential risk factor for other running injuries. 33 We can speculate whether the AT loading in different foot strike patterns may be a risk factor associated with development of AT RRI.…”

“…Several studies indicate how lower-extremity biomechanics change after prolonged running. [60][61][62] However, the findings of the Farris et al 63 study show that AT force and AT mechanical properties do not change significantly after prolonged running. 63 Nevertheless, as we do not have information on the forces and loads on the AT, AT mechanical properties, or running biomechanics after prolonged running in this study, we cannot answer these questions.…”

There are relatively few running studies that have attempted to prospectively identify biomechanical risk factors associated with Achilles tendon (AT) injuries. Therefore, the aim was to prospectively determine potential running biomechanical risk factors associated with the development of AT injuries in recreational, healthy runners. At study entry, 108 participants completed a set of questionnaires. They underwent an analysis of their running biomechanics at self-selected running speed. The incidence of AT running-related injuries (RRI) was assessed after 1-year using a weekly questionnaire standardized for RRI. Potential biomechanical risk factors for the development of AT RRI injury were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Of the 103 participants, 25% of the sample (15 males and 11 females) reported an AT RRI on the right lower limb during the 1-year evaluation period. A more flexed knee at initial contact (odds ratio = 1.146, P = .034) and at the midstance phase (odds ratio = 1.143, P = .037) were significant predictors for developing AT RRI. The results suggested that a 1-degree increase in knee flexion at initial contact and midstance was associated with a 15% increase in the risk of an AT RRI, thus causing a limitation of training or a stoppage of running in runners.
