Cycling Injuries
Although superficial soft tissue injuries and musculoskeletal trauma are the most common injuries, head injuries are responsible for most fatalities and long-term disabilities.
Patellofemoral Pain - Knee Pain in Cycling
There are a few cycling technique faults that contribute to patellofemoral pain syndrome. One is pedaling in too big a gear. A lot of people and unicyclists tend to want to push a hard gear.
The other aspect is knee alignment while pedaling. When you look down at your knee when youre pedalling that knee should track in a linear path, shouldn’t be a lot of side-to-side motion. That’s been shown in the research to really contribute to patellofemoral pain syndrome.
