However, it remains unknown if these measures are also linked to the development of overuse injuries. The aim of this study was therefore to determine how movement dynamics alter in response to fatigue, and the possible link with developing lower-leg overuse injuries during a six-month follow-up period. Two hundred and eight movement science university students completed a 12-min all-out run while wearing a trunk-mounted accelerometer. Dynamic stability, dynamic loading and spatiotemporal measures were extracted from the accelerometer. Participants sustaining an injury within the 6-month period demonstrated significantly higher RMS ratio values in the vertical direction and lower RMS ratio values in the anteroposterior direction, and lower impact acceleration values in the anteroposterior direction in an unfatigued state compared to the uninjured group. They also demonstrated an increase in dynamic loading in the horizontal plane during the run. In addition, with running fatigue both groups exhibited changes in dynamic stability and loading measures. These results show the potential of using a single trunk-mounted accelerometer to detect changes in movement dynamics that are linked to lower-leg overuse injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21217385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,7]],"date-time":"2021-11-07T20:42:54Z","timestamp":1636317774000},"page":"7385","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Use of a Single Trunk-Mounted Accelerometer to Detect Changes in Center of Mass Motion Linked to Lower-Leg Overuse Injuries: A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3836-5318","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerard","family":"Aristiz\u00e1bal Pla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Movements Biomechanics Research Group, Department of Movement Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, UMASS Amherst Amherst, University of Massachusetts Integrative Locomotion Lab, Amherst, MA 01003, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6277-8051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enzo","family":"Hollville","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Movements Biomechanics Research Group, Department of Movement Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Kurt","family":"Sch\u00fctte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Movements Biomechanics Research Group, Department of Movement Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6158-9483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benedicte","family":"Vanwanseele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Movements Biomechanics Research Group, Department of Movement Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"576","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2003.005488","article-title":"Relation between running injury and static lower limb alignment in recreational runners","volume":"38","author":"Lun","year":"2004","journal-title":"Br.
