61. Running Stretches Jog Jogging knee pain is another common problem with runners. runners doing hills are especially susceptible to knee problems. Before each run, I do several repetitions http://www.leigh.org/running/stretching.html

Stretching Stretch without Pain One of the key things to do to avoid injury as you run is to stretch and strengthen your muscles before and after you run. Stretching before you run will loosen your muscles and help you warm up for your run. Stretching after will help remove the lactic acid from your muscles that was generated while you ran. In addition, stretching will help strengthen your muscles, enabling you to run better and helping you avoid injury. A word of caution is in order, however. Any activity that causes muscle movement causes stress in your body, and too much stress is the cause of injury. Thus, if you aren't careful, doing stretches can contribute to injury. I've found that the keys to safe stretching are (a) experience no pain while you stretch, (b) do gentle, slow muscle movements when you stretch, and (c) don't rock your body back and forth or jump up and down. If you feel pain, back off and don't pull your muscles as much.

RUNNER'S KNEE Report #6722 The most common long-term running injury is runners knee, pain behind the knee cap during running. You probably have runner's knee if your knee cap hurts when you walk or run, particularly when you walk down stairs; and it hurts a lot when you push the kneecap against the bone behind it. It usually does not hurt to pedal a bicycle. The back of the kneecap is shaped like a triangle with the point fitting in a grove in the lower part of the bone behind it. During running, the knee cap is supposed to move up and down and not side to side. If it moves from side to side, the back of the kneecap will rub against the front bottom of the femur, the long bone of the upper leg, causing pain. Treatment is to stop the kneecap from touching the bone behind it, which is usually caused by the knee cap being pulled toward the outside laterally while the lower leg twists the bone behind it inward medially. When you run, you land on the lateral bottom of your foot and roll inward, causing the lower leg to twist inward. At the same time, three of the four quad muscles attached to the kneecap pull the kneecap outward and cause the knee cap to rub against the bone behind it. You can keep the knee cap from rubbing by wearing orthotics, special insets in your shoes, doing exercises to strengthen the muscle that pulls your knee cap inward. Surgery is rarely necessary.

Pain that radiates from the bony point of the elbow, up to the shoulder, or down to the fingertips. The Syndrome: Caused by repetitive forceful movement of the lower arm. Not considered a form of arthritis because the inflammation is located outside the joint itself. Usually, it is the result of swinging the tennis racket with a grip that overextends the hand and wrist. The backhand tightening of muscle groups in the hand and forearm can contribute to the pain. A poorly balanced racket may be responsible for the pain.

Diabetes and Heart Disease Oral Health News Breast Cancer Progress Report When Addiction Comes Home ... Healthy Recipes provided by the American Heart Association By Lewis G. Maharam, M.D., FACSM W hen it comes to chondromalacia patella, a.k.a. anterior knee syndrome or "runner's knee,' biology is destiny. Anyone whose foot rolls inward during a stride is a candidate. Of all the aches and pains that athletes can get, this one's probably the least age-related. And the treatment, which is not complicated or extensive, is the same for everybody from kids to grandparents. It all starts with the kneecap In a perfect world, it rides up and down in the V-shaped groove just behind it as you walk, run, or cycle. More typically, though, your foot rolls in, or pronates, as you move from heel-strike to toe-off, and the kneecap ends up scraping along one side of the groove instead of sliding smoothly up and down the middle. The cartilage there doesn't much like getting sort of sandpapered down that way, nor does the back of the kneecap, which begins to weep fluid that in turn produces a feeling of stiffness. And though runners have named the condition, it crops up often among cyclists, not to mention in cleated-shoe sports like soccer and baseball whose footwear can put sideways torque on the knee. You can diagnose it from the other side of the room: joint hurts, no particular injury caused it, worst going upstairs and downstairs, stiffens after sitting awhile, like it needs to be stretched. That settles it.

It is often due to excess wear on the underside of the kneecap. It is also called chondromalacia patellae, or CMP. What is going on in the body? When the knee is bent and straightened, the kneecap glides back and forth over the end of the femur, or thighbone. The underside of the kneecap is in contact with the femur. Like the rest of the knee joint, this surface is covered with cartilage. Too much stress between the kneecap and the femur can damage the cartilage. The joint surface becomes softened and roughened. This wear causes joint irritation and pain. Sometimes the joint swells because it produces extra fluid to improve lubrication. The contact pressure between the kneecap and femur varies according to activity. Deep knee bends exert a force equivalent to five times the body weight. Climbing stairs is equivalent to three times the body weight.

Runner's knee is encompassed by many medical names: anterior knee pain syndrome or patellofemoral malalignment, chondromalacia patella. But the result is always the same: stiffness, aching or pain. Several factors can contribute to the onset of runner's knee. Certainly, injury to the knee area can cause the condition. Weak thigh muscles, flat feet and a kneecap out of alignment can also create problems. But heavy stress from overexercise is most often the culprit. Good physical shape can help prevent knee pain. Here are other ways to reduce stress on your knees: Lose weight: Being overweight overstresses the knee. If you suffer from knee pain, you may want to consider going on a diet.

Definition: Runner's knee is an overuse injury, where the kneecap or cartilage beneath it is being rubbed away because of a misalignment of the kneecap. The pain, usually a strong ache, is located beneath or around the edges of the kneecap. Pain is strongest after sitting for some time with your knees bent or when running or walking down hills or stairs. This is when the most stress is on your kneecap. The cause is usually a combination of weak quadriceps and tight hamstrings or IT bands. However, overpronation can be a factor also. Rest and ice are the best cures for the symptoms. Strengthening the quadriceps and stretching the hamstrings and IT bands are the easiest (and least expensive) ways to cure runner's knee. However, if patellofemoral pain continues untreated, surgery is an option (sometimes the only one).

74. Lose The Buddha CALLING ALL runners! Um, or joggers, or whatever. My knee. Oooo Lordy. It doesn t hurt. It feels like I have to pop it. Like a knuckle crack. http://www.ejshea.com/2003_03_16_blogarchive.htm

Tuesday, March 18, 2003 OK. This will be my last posting about my knee, I promise. It hasn't gotten better, but the good news is that it hasn't gotten worse. I did a bunch of research tonight on my symptoms and I have either Runner's Knee or tendonitis , though I'm leaning toward Runner's Knee due to the whole "grinding" element. I should have taken more precautions I've had this grinding thing since I ran in high school but it hasn't caused me problems or been as pronounced. Let this be a lesson to you! If you "up" your training make sure you're careful to stretch, hydrate, and work on your form. While I had my running gait checked, and I don't show any signs of overproning and the like, I'm sure my lack of proper stretching and development of my quads caused this problem. And since I was aware that I had a bum left knee, I have no one to blame but myself. This puts a damper on things I was on such a high from Sunday and was all ready to hit the road for more running this week. But, I have to stay off the knee and away from any impact activity. I kept off of it completely today because it was still causing me pain. Tomorrow, however, I'm going to do some cycling and weight lifting. Plus, there is a sports PT on-staff at my gym and I'm going to make an appointment to see her. While I don't think the current injury is anything to be alarmed by, I need to take every precaution I cannot to damage it any further and end up with ACL surgery! How the hell are you all doing out there? Good?

Dr. Stephen M. Pribut's Sport Pages Sports Medicine Home Chess Shoes Comprehensive Site Listing ... Office Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) by Stephen M. Pribut, DPM Description: The knee is a complex joint. It includes the articulation between the tibia and femur (leg and thigh) and the patella (knee cap). The most common knee problems in running relate to what is called the "patellofemoral complex". This consists of the quadriceps, knee cap and patellar tendon. What is now called patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is also known as runner's knee. For many years runner's knee was considered to be chondromalacia of the patella. This essentially means a softening of the cartilage of the knee cap. ...certain mechanical conditions may predispose you to a mistracking knee cap. pain in this area. Anatomy Causes: Wide Hips (female runners) Knock Knees (Genu Valgum) Subluxating Patella Patella Alta (high patella) Small medial pole of patella or corresponding portion of femur Weak Vastus Medialis Weak Quadriceps Muscles Tight Hamstrings or calf muscles Pronation of the feet Q Angle Treatment of Runners Knee At an early stage running should be decreased to lessen stress to this area and allow healing to begin. It is important to avoid downhill running which stresses the patello-femoral complex.

Runner’s knee (Chondromalacia patellae) www.Studenthealth.co.uk Symptoms The main symptoms of runner's knee (chondromalacia) are aching around the knee cap. This ache may be worse on climbing stairs or cycling. Runners may experience knee pain after running a certain distance when their knee seizes up and forces them to stop. Cause Chondromalacia is caused by disproportionate development of some muscles around the knee. These muscles then pull the knee cap in the wrong direction. The back of the knee cap then starts rubbing against other parts of the knee joint and ache develops. Some patients have a predisposition to knee pain because the knee cap is small or anatomically misplaced. Treatment This condition often gets better on its own in time, but can persist for years. You can speed up the recovery process if you follow this advice. Modify your exercise to e.g. cycling in low gears, gentle jogging, swimming etc. Do the following; Knee exercises: Sitting on a bed, keep your leg flat and bend your toes towards your head as much as possible, keep this position for ten seconds and release. Repeat this ten times.

RUNNER'S KNEE Gabe Mirkin, M.D. The most common long-term running injury is runners knee, pain behind the knee cap during running. You probably have runner's knee if your knee cap hurts when you walk or run, particularly when you walk down stairs; and it hurts a lot when you push the kneecap against the bone behind it. It usually does not hurt to pedal a bicycle. The back of the kneecap is shaped like a triangle with the point fitting in a grove in the lower part of the bone behind it. During running, the knee cap is supposed to move up and down and not side to side. If it moves from side to side, the back of the kneecap will rub against the front bottom of the femur, the long bone of the upper leg, causing pain. Treatment is to stop the kneecap from touching the bone behind it, which is usually caused by the knee cap being pulled toward the outside laterally while the lower leg twists the bone behind it inward medially. When you run, you land on the lateral bottom of your foot and roll inward, causing the lower leg to twist inward. At the same time, three of the four quad muscles attached to the kneecap pull the kneecap outward and cause the knee cap to rub against the bone behind it. You can keep the knee cap from rubbing by wearing orthotics, special insets in your shoes, doing exercises to strengthen the muscle that pulls your knee cap inward. Surgery is rarely necessary. A study from Long Beach VA Hospital in California shows why runners are far more likely to suffer knee pain than cyclists. When you run, you land on the outside bottom of your foot and roll inward toward the big toe side of your foot, called pronation. This study shows that the amount of inner twisting of the lower leg during running is related to how straight your knee is. Bending your knee decreases inner twisting and rubbing of the knee cap against the bone behind it. So people with runner's knee can pedal a bicycle with their seats set lower than normal to prevent their knees from straightening, they can wear special inserts in their shoes that restrict pronation, and they can do special exercises that strengthen the vastus medialis muscle above the kneecap that pulls the knee cap inward when you run or pedal.

Mamashealth.com Home Running Injuries Achilles Tendonitis Ankle Sprain Athlete's Foot Avoid Injuries ... Stress Fractures Links Email Mama Featured Running Apparel What is Runner's Knee? Runner's Knee is a softening or wearing away and cracking of the cartilage under the kneecap. It causes a large amount of pain and inflammation. The cartilage becomes like sandpaper because the kneecap is not riding smoothly over the knee. Runner's knee is the most common overuse injury among runners. It occurs when a mistracking kneecap irritates the femoral groove in which it rests on the thighbone. Runner's knee can affect one or both knees. Runner's Knee is also called Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. What Causes Runner's Knee? Runner's Knee is often caused by weak quadriceps, incorrect or worn shoes, and overtraining. Other cases of Runner's knee are: Wide hips. Knock knees. Subluxating patella. High patella. Small medial pole of patella or corresponding portion of femur. Weak vastus medialis. Weak quadriceps muscles.

The IT band is a thick fibrous band of tissue, which runs on the outside of the leg from the hip to the knee. Pain is caused when the band becomes tight and rubs over the bony prominences of the hip (greater trochanter) and/or the knee (lateral epicondyle). Tight inflexible lower extremity muscles may worsen the condition. syndrome0,band,runner's knee, Basketball, volleyball, running - all of these activities involve repetitive running and/or jumping and could cause a very painful knee condition called patellar tendinitis, Iliotibial Band Syndrome or Patellofemorial known as "runner's knee". The act of jumping, especially, puts a great deal of stress on the patellar tendon, which attaches to the bottom of your kneecap. The force of hitting the ground repeatedly could cause the tendon to become inflamed and even begin to tear. Iliotibial band syndrome (runner's knee) is usually felt in the front of the knee just below the kneecap and may be felt during or after vigorous running or jumping. You may also experience discomfort when you sit down and extend your leg straight out.
