Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Group
Participants in the experimental group will receive a telehealth gait retraining intervention in addition to standard physical therapy rehabilitation for running-related knee pain, which includes: an at-home exercise program, a return to running protocol, and standard physical therapy evaluations.
Telehealth Gait Retraining
Telehealth gait retraining is a novel approach to train participants to adopt a non-rearfoot foot strike pattern during running via telecommunications. During telehealth gait retraining, video of a participant's running form are sent to clinicians over a mobile device app and running form feedback is given. This process is repeated once a week for four weeks and then every other week until week 8.
Standard Physical Therapy Treatment
Participants receiving standard Physical Therapy will visit the Physical Therapy Clinic every 2 to 3 weeks to be treated by a Physical Therapist.
Return to Running Protocol
The Return to Running protocol is a six-phase running volume progression to re-introduce running slowly and safely after experiencing a running-related injury.
At Home Exercise Program
The At Home Exercise Program consists of 4 lower leg and foot exercises that participants can perform on their own time.
Control Group
Participants in the control group will receive standard physical therapy rehabilitation for running-related knee pain, which includes: an at-home exercise program, a return to running protocol, and standard physical therapy evaluations.
Standard Physical Therapy Treatment
Participants receiving standard Physical Therapy will visit the Physical Therapy Clinic every 2 to 3 weeks to be treated by a Physical Therapist.
Return to Running Protocol
The Return to Running protocol is a six-phase running volume progression to re-introduce running slowly and safely after experiencing a running-related injury.
At Home Exercise Program
The At Home Exercise Program consists of 4 lower leg and foot exercises that participants can perform on their own time.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Knee pain that occurs during and/or after running that was not due to a recent acute trauma (such as an accident or a fall) and that is a pain intensity of at least a '3' and no greater than a '7' on a numeric pain rating scale with '0' meaning "no pain" and '10' meaning the "worst possible pain"
* Fluent in speaking and reading English
Exclusion Criteria
* Presence of rheumatoid or neurological diseases
* Plans to deploy or permanent change of station (PCS) within 4 months
* Current lower extremity injury other than knee pain
* History of traumatic knee injury (such as a surgery, ligament tear, or meniscal tear)
* Current pregnancy
* Inability to perform 20 unassisted single leg heel raises on each leg
* A non-rearfoot strike pattern during running
* Showing signs of ligamentous instability, meniscus pathology, or knee effusion
