Title: Aged Compared to Young Runners Exhibit Unique Lower Extremity Biomechanics
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Douglas Powell, Physical Therapy

Musculoskeletal injury is a common occurrence in runners, with a greater prevalence in older runners. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate lower extremity biomechanical variables that may underlie the increased prevalence of musculoskeletal injury in older runners.
