MEC is excited to partner with the Running Injury Clinic to offer FREE series on injury prevention. These sessions will be held once a month and are geared towards informing runners on ways to reduce and recover from injuries.

This clinic will cover:

Advances in wearable technology and 3D analysis of running biomechanics How injury prediction and prevention will be common-place in a few years Recent research and how its transforming healthcare

Join us and help yourself stay injury free this summer!

The next clinic will be held on July 24, at MEC Calgary from 7pm - 8pm on Biomechanics

About the Runners Injury Clinic:

Founded in 2003, our over-arching goal is education and development of injury prevention and rehabilitation programs for all runners and walkers through world-class research and clinical practice. The overall paradigm is that all of the public patients seen at the Clinic can potentially be research subjects through various on-going studies. Thus, our research is facilitated through the clinical practice and the clinical practice is improved through the research.

Our core strength lies in the scientific measure of 3D gait biomechanics, muscular strength, flexibility, and anatomical alignment and understanding how these factors contribute to running injuries. We have developed 3D GAIT, a scientifically accurate, 3-dimensional motion capture system and custom software, for use in private physiotherapy clinics and hospitals. In addition to 3D GAIT across Canada and the US, we have international research partners and all data from all systems flow into a central database: the world’s largest research database of 3D biomechanical and clinical data.

The Running Injury Clinic personnel currently include post-doctoral research fellows, PhD and Master’s students, research technicians, research coordinators and rehabilitation specialists. These individuals consist of biomedical engineers, biomechanists, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, and clinical scientists.
