Coupling angle variability in healthy and patellofemoral pain runners.
BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain is hypothesized to result in less joint coordination variability. The ability to relate coordination variability to patellofemoral pain pathology could have many clinical uses; however, evidence to support its clinical application is lacking. The aim was to determine if vector coding's coupling angle variability, as a measure of joint coordination variability, was...
متن کاملRearfoot and knee coupling over a prolonged run in runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome
Introduction Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is common in runners and is often related to excessive rearfoot eversion. Increased eversion is known to be associated with increased knee flexion, internal rotation, and reduced adduction [1]. Therefore, our purpose was to investigate coupling between the foot and knee in runners with PFPS. We hypothesized that the PFPS group would display large...
متن کاملTitle: Are Mechanics Different between Male and Female Runners with Patellofemoral Pain? Short Title: Sex-specific Mechanics in Patellofemoral Pain
Introduction: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) has often been attributed to abnormal hip and knee mechanics in females. To date, there have been few investigations of the hip and knee mechanics of males with PFP. The purpose of this study was to compare the lower extremity mechanics and alignment of male runners with PFP with healthy male runners and female runners with PFP. We hypothesized that males...
متن کاملQ-angle in patellofemoral pain: relationship with dynamic knee valgus, hip abductor torque, pain and function.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the q-angle and anterior knee pain severity, functional capacity, dynamic knee valgus and hip abductor torque in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). METHODS This study included 22 women with PFPS. The q-angle was assessed using goniometry: the participants were positioned in dorsal decubitus with the knee and hip extended, and the ...
