EFFECTS OF FOREFOOT RUNNING ON CHRONIC EXERTIONAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME: A CASE SERIES





Download the Notes

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a condition that occurs almost exclu- sively with running whereby exercise increases intramuscular pressure compromising circulation, prohibit- ing muscular function, and causing pain in the lower leg. Currently, a lack of evidence exists for the effective conservative management of CECS. Altering running mechanics by adopting forefoot running as opposed to heel striking may assist in the treatment of CECS, specifically with anterior compartment symptoms.

CaseDescription: ThepurposeofthiscaseseriesistodescribetheoutcomesforsubjectswithCECSthrough a systematic conservative treatment model focused on forefoot running. Subject one was a 21 y/o female with a 4 year history of CECS and subject two was a 21 y/o male, 7 months status-post two-compartment right leg fasciotomy with a return of symptoms and a new onset of symptoms on the contralateral side.

Running related, lower-extremity injuries across all Military branches amount to annual costs of $100,000,000. As health professionals, it is imperative that we explore all possible advances in sports science and medicine that can provide a viable/scalable framework that we can use as an example to implement into standardized Military protocol.
