Neuromechanical Approach to Patellofemoral - Pain Syndrome

چکیده
ATHLETIC THERAPY TODAY ATHLETIC THERAPY TODAY MARCH 2005 73 ATELLOFEMORAL-PAIN syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee disorder in young athletes participating in running, jumping, and cutting sports. The prevalence is approximately 25% among adolescent athletes.1 Clinically, females demonstrate a greater incidence of PFPS than their male cohorts. When exacerbated, PFPS forces young athletes to restrict or stop regular physical activity. Physical activity has been advocated as a significant component in maintaining positive health behaviors during childhood and adolescence. Sportsmedicine practitioners must reduce impairments and functional limitations in young athletes with PFPS in order for them to maintain active lifestyles. Currently, there is no consensus on the conservative management of young athletes with PFPS. Conservative management of PFPS has been considered an enigma in orthopedics and sports medicine. The inability to uncover the etiology and pathomechanics of PFPS has perpetuated the use of anecdotal assessment and interventions among sports-medicine practitioners. The purposes of this three-part column are to (a) present previous theories of PFPS, (b) introduce a neuromechanical theory for PFPS, and (c) illustrate a biomechanical and motorcontrol approach to assessing and treating young athletes with PFPS.
