Propositions
1. The etiology of running-related injurers is multifactorial and complex; several risk factors need to interact for a running-related injury to occur (this thesis).
2. Mental aspects and sleep should be incorporated when counseling injured runners on prevention and treatment of running-related injuries (this thesis).
3. There is a need for a standardized norm classifying atypical and normal rearfoot eversion during running (this thesis).
4. Consensus about the 3D measurement of rearfoot eversion is needed.
5. Atypical rearfoot eversion is a contributing factor to iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy and Achilles tendinopathy (this thesis).
6. A 5° change in foot progression angle is accompanied by a 2° change in peak rearfoot eversion (this thesis).
7. A 6 mm change in mediolateral center of pressure at midstance is accompanied by a 3° change in peak rearfoot eversion (this thesis).
8. Future studies should perform a cluster analysis of kinematic variables, like lower limb kinematic chains, rather than separately analyze a kinematic variable.
9. Coach’s Eye, a 2D motion analysis smartphone application, can reliably measure lower limb kinematics during running; however, it is not a valid method for measuring all lower limb kinematics (this thesis).
10. Doing a PhD is always hard but it becomes enjoyable if you have a schedule, enough knowledge, a plan B, diligence, great supervisors and supporters; it is a wonderful feeling when you look back and see your progress.
