Repetitive AT loading may\n                    play a role in etiology. Interventions such as body weight support (BWS) may\n                    reduce loading on the AT in running. Examine how ground reaction force, AT\n                    loading, foot strike, and cadence variables change in running with BWS.\n                    Twenty-four healthy female runners free from injury were examined. Participants\n                    ran on an instrumented treadmill with and without BWS using a harness-based\n                    system at a standardized speed. The system has 4 elastic cords affixed to a\n                    harness that is attached to a frame-like structure. Kinematic data and kinetic\n                    data were used in a musculoskeletal model (18 segments and 16 degrees of\n                    freedom) to determine AT loading variables, foot strike angle, and cadence.\n                    Paired t-tests were used to compare each variable between conditions. Ground\n                    reaction force was 9.0% lower with BWS (p&lt;.05). Peak AT stress,\n                    force, and impulse were 9.4, 11.7%, and 14.8% lower when using\n                    BWS in running compared to no support (p&lt;.05). Foot strike angle was\n                    similar (p&lt;.05) despite cadence being reduced (p&lt;.05). BWS may\n                    reduce AT loading and impulse variables during running. This may be important in\n                    rehabilitation efforts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2113-1026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]],"date-time":"2023-06-19T23:23:25Z","timestamp":1687217005000},"page":"913-918","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects
