Abstract
The evaluation of the injured runner emphasizes the identification of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors in addition to establishing injury specific diagnosis. The history emphasizes identification of contributory changes in training regimen or technique. The physical examination includes a biomechanical screening to identify related imbalances in posture, alignment, strength, and flexibility. This comprehensive, running specific approach to diagnosis will assist the clinician in developing optimum rehabilitation programs.
