Relationship between balance and maximum strength in weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing closed kinetic chain exercises
Balance and strength are important abilities that athletes should have them. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between maximum leg press (non-weight bearing closed kinetic chain) and squat (weight bearing closed kinetic chain) strength with statistic and dynamic balance. Thirty (15 men and 15 women) physically active participants (age, 22.13 ± 1.54 years; height, 171.26 ± ...
متن کاملSex differences in coupled knee motions during the transition from non-weight bearing to weight bearing.
Knee ligament injuries frequently happen when the joint transitions from non-weight bearing (NWB) to weight bearing (WB). To gain insight into the mechanism that produces these injuries, physically active females (N = 41) and males (N = 39) underwent measurement of coupled tibiofemoral joint displacements [anterior tibial translation (ATT) and varus-valgus and internal-external rotations] and n...
متن کاملDifferences in patellofemoral kinematics between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing conditions in patients with patellofemoral pain.
Patellar maltracking is thought to be one source of patellofemoral pain. Measurements of patellar tracking are frequently obtained during non-weight-bearing knee extension; however, pain typically arises during highly loaded activities, such as squatting, stair climbing, and running. It is unclear whether patellofemoral joint kinematics during lightly loaded tasks replicate patellofemoral joint...
متن کاملWeight-bearing MRI of patellofemoral joint cartilage contact area.
PURPOSE To measure contact area of cartilage in the patellofemoral joint during weight bearing using an open MRI scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed an MR-compatible back support that allows three-dimensional imaging of the patellofemoral cartilage under physiologic weight-bearing conditions with negligible motion artifact in an open MRI scanner. To measure contact areas, we trained o...
متن کاملComparison of Double and Single Leg Weight-Bearing Radiography in Determining Knee Alignment
Background: Knee malalignment is an important modifiable cause of osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical therapeutic procedures depend on proper knee alignment assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare knee alignment parameters between double and single leg weight-bearing radiographs and to evaluate the reproducibility of inter- and intra-observer measurements. Methods: One hundred eight p...
