Bryan Heiderscheit, PT, PhD is a Professor in the Departments of Orthopedics & Rehabilitation and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the Director of the Runners' Clinic through the UW Health Sports Medicine; Director of Research for Badger Athletic Performance with UW Athletics; and Co-director of the UW Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory. Dr. Heiderscheit's research is aimed at understanding and enhancing the clinical management of orthopaedic conditions, with particular focus on running-related injuries. He is Editor for the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy and a member of the Executive Committee of the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy.
Overview
Successful treatment of running injuries has remained somewhat elusive to orthopaedic and sports medicine clinicians. Through a greater understanding of the associated mechanics, advances in prevention and rehabilitation strategies can be made that will reduce the incidence rate of these common injuries. This advanced 2-day course will provide a thorough review of the most recent scientific findings related to the examination, diagnosis and treatment of running injuries. Discussion will focus on the current literature pertaining to running mechanics and injury, and the clinical decision-making needed to achieve superior outcomes. The use of video analysis as part of the running gait examination will be emphasized, and novel strategies to modify running mechanics will be presented as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment. Multiple case studies will be integrated to illustrate concepts and promote idea application. The overall objective is to provide each participant with an understanding of the current knowledge pertaining to the management of running-related injuries, with techniques that can be immediately applied to clinical practice.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify biomechanical and training-related risk factors for running injuries using current evidence.
- Describe the factors that influence running form and performance.
- Consider mechanical factors beyond running impacts and excessive foot pronation that may contribute to running injuries.
- Determine the appropriate equipment to conduct a video running analysis and identify factors that can influence its accuracy.
- Perform a systematic and comprehensive video analysis of an individual running.
- Understand how to integrate findings from the physical examination and video analysis to determine appropriate injury management.
- Select specific rehabilitation exercises to target impairments of common running-related injuries, such as patellofemoral pain and iliotibial band syndrome.
- Identify effective strategies to modify the running form and determine when it is appropriate to do so as part of the rehabilitation plan.
- Understand footwear options available to runners and factors to be considered in the selection process.
- Identify risk factors associated with hamstring strain injury and key aspects of the rehabilitation.

Continuing Education Approvals: Examination and Treatment of Running Injuries is an ideal course for healthcare professionals. This includes physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, athletic trainers, physicians, physician assistants, chiropractors and strength and conditioning specialists who work with the running population.
URMC has obtained approvals for 10.5 contact hours from New York State.
Most states accept the BOC approval for proof of course appropriateness for physical therapy and physical therapy assistant CEUs. Additional states may require prior approval by the attendee before applying these CEUs for state licensure. We encourage attendees to check with their individual state for approval.
Examination and Treatment of Running Injuries is approved by the Board of Certification, Inc. to provide continuing education to Athletic Trainers. This course has been approve for 10.5 EBP credits.
* Cost of registration includes PDF handouts of all lectures available in advance. All lectures will be recorded and accessible for course registrants to view for up to 30 days following the course. CEU Certificates will only be provided to course registrants.
Course Schedule
This course will be held in a virtual format. Attendees will receive a link to log in 48 hours in advance of the course.
* Proposed schedule. Schedule subject to change at discretion of presenter and host.
Call for Case Abstracts: URMC Sports & Spine Rehabilitation is excited to offer a unique case discussion segment, Ask the Expert, as a part of Examination & Treatment of Running Injuries. Those selected will have the opportunity to present their individual patient case to all attendees with an opportunity to discuss treatment strategies with Bryan Heiderscheit during the conference. Interested registrants should submit a case abstract to jillian_santer@urmc.rochester.edu by March 10th, 2021.
