The effect of downhill running on impact shock and asymmetry

Biomechanical studies are important for the prevention and treatment of injuries. Of special interest is running locomotion and its effect on impact shock. Impact shock magnitudes are often 2-3 times greater at the tibia during running compared to walking and have been reported to increase with decr...
