Abstract
Introduction: The abundant degrees of freedom available in movement result in the inherent variations observed in the performance of a repetitive task, i.e., movement variability. Emerging evidence suggests that identification of deviations in gait parameters of pathological vs. healthy runners could advance our current understanding of overuse injury mechanisms in running related injuries. To date the relationship between running biomechanics, variability and injury remains unclear. The purpose of this review was twofold: (1) to examine the impact of musculoskeletal injury on running gait variability; and (2) to identify potentially maladaptive variations in movement variability by identifying any common deviations that occur in injured populations.
