The Use of a Single Trunk-Mounted Accelerometer to Detect Changes in Center of Mass Motion Linked to Lower-Leg Overuse Injuries: A Prospective Study

Movement dynamics during running was previously characterized using a trunk-mounted accelerometer, and were associated with a history of overuse injuries. However, it remains unknown if these measures are also linked to the development of overuse injuries. The aim of this study was therefore to dete...

description Movement dynamics during running was previously characterized using a trunk-mounted accelerometer, and were associated with a history of overuse injuries.

In addition, with running fatigue both groups exhibited changes in dynamic stability and loading measures.
