ClinConnect Summary
This study is looking at running injuries and how Romanian-speaking runners take care of them. It aims to find out what kinds of injuries runners get most often, how these injuries affect their daily life, and what treatments or healthcare services they use to feel better. A special part of the study is to create and test a Romanian version of a questionnaire designed to understand running injuries and recovery. This will help doctors and therapists better support runners in the Romanian-speaking community.
If you are 18 or older, speak Romanian as your first language, and have been running at least 5 kilometers a week for one year or more, you might be eligible to take part. Participants will be asked to fill out an online survey that takes about 25 to 30 minutes. The questions will cover your running habits, any injuries you’ve had, how those injuries affected you, and the treatments you’ve tried. All your answers will be kept confidential and anonymous. This is a valuable opportunity to help improve care for runners like you.
