He serves as an Associate Editor and Deputy Social Media Editor at the British Journal of Sports Medicine and is involved with the Victorian branch of the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Association. Dr. Barton's research focuses on knee injuries, running injuries, and implementation science, utilizing innovative digital technologies. He leads projects such as GLA:D Australia and TREK, and is a sought-after speaker and instructor on knee pain and running injury management internationally.

In this podcast episode, we delve into the nuanced world of injury risk management and rehabilitation strategies with a focus on running-related injuries. Join us as we explore key questions such as:

  • How can clinicians potentially mitigate injury risk, and what does the current research suggest?
  • What are the consistent risk factors for running-related injuries, and do we have effective frameworks for advising patients and clinicians?
  • When is movement retraining indicated in the management of patellofemoral pain (PFP) and other running injuries, and are these changes long or short-term?
  • How do tissues adapt to load, and does it make sense for uninjured runners to refrain from making changes to their running mechanics?
  • What are effective frameworks and cues for providing re-training advice to patients, and how can clinicians tailor these strategies to individual needs?
  • What is the current understanding of PFP, and what factors contribute to the development of this painful condition?
  • How do rehabilitation approaches differ when comparing local versus distal to proximal strategies for PFP, and how should clinicians tailor their interventions based on patient deficits?
  • Does the management of PFP vary between adolescents and adults, and are there specific considerations for each age group?
  • Is there evidence to suggest that persistent PFP increases the risk of patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis?
