Abstract：
:The influence of ankle kinematics and plantar pressure from mid-range barefoot running on T2 relaxation times of tibiotalar cartilage is unknown. This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the T2 relaxation time of tibiotalar cartilage and ankle biomechanics following 5 km barefoot running. Twenty healthy runners (who had no 5 km barefoot running experience) underwent 3.0-Tesla magnetic resonance (MR) scans and assessment of running gait before and after 5 km barefoot running. Participants were divided into two groups consisting of marathon-experienced (n = 10) and novice (n = 10) with equal number of males and females in each group. Three musculoskeletal radiologists measured T2 relaxation times in 18 regions of the ankle cartilage: anterior zone, central zone, and posterior zone, or lateral, middle, and medial sections in the sagittal plane. Three-dimensional ankle kinetics, kinematics, and plantar pressure were all also assessed during barefoot running. In the novice group, the T2 relaxation time in the posterior zone of tibial cartilage (p = 0.001) and lateral section in both tibial (p = 0.02) and talar (p = 0.02) cartilage were significantly increased after barefoot running. Ankle kinematics exhibited significant changes in females. Plantar loading was shifted from the medial to lateral aspect after running. This included a significant reduction in the loading under the toes and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd metatarsals, with a significant increase under the 4th and 5th metatarsals and lateral midfoot. The results suggest that plantar pressure may directly lead to local increases in cartilage T2 signal, which was not associated with changes in ankle kinematics.
