Is the effectiveness of patellofemoral bracing modified by patellofemoral alignment and trochlear morphology?
BACKGROUND This study was performed to determine if the effectiveness of patellofemoral bracing as a treatment for patellofemoral osteoarthritis is influenced by patellofemoral joint alignment and trochlear morphology. We hypothesized that those with more extreme patellar malalignment would benefit more from bracing. METHODS Thirty-eight patients who had received bracing as part of a comprehe...

متن کاملCLINICAL MANAGEMENT: PATELLOFEMORAL SYNDROME Patellofemoral syndrome
This paper examines the condition of anterior knee pain known as patellofemoral pain syndrome. It describes the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the knee including normal movement, and factors which may destabilize the knee, and predispose it to injury. The controversial ‘‘Q’’ angle is discussed, as is its relationship to patellofemoral pain. The importance of balanced musculature to the ...
متن کاملThe effect of bracing on patella alignment and patellofemoral joint contact area.
PURPOSE To examine the influence of two patellofemoral braces on pain response, patellar alignment, and patellofemoral joint contact area in persons with patellofemoral pain. METHODS Fifteen women between the ages of 18 and 45 yr with a diagnosis of patellofemoral pain participated. After the assessment of pain response using a visual analog scale, subjects underwent axial plane magnetic reso...
