Continuous relative phase variability during an exhaustive run in runners with a history of iliotibial band syndrome.
Previous research has proposed that a lack of variability in lower extremity coupling during running is associated with pathology. The purpose of the study was to evaluate lower extremity coupling variability in runners with and without a history of iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) during an exhaustive run. Sixteen runners ran to voluntary exhaustion on a motorized treadmill while a motion captu...
متن کاملJoint Coupling Variability and Knee Pain During Running
Introduction The knee and subtalar joint actions are related by the internal/external rotation motion of the tibia during the support phase of running. It has been suggested that maximum knee flexion should occur at the same time as maximum subtalar eversion during which time the tibia undergoes internal rotation (Bates et al., 1978). Asynchronous timing between knee joint flexion and ankle joi...
متن کاملKinematics of Runners with and without Patellofemoral Pain during Prolonged Treadmill Running
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that abnormal lower extremity kinematics during running are related to patellofemoral pain (PFP). Specifically, during the first half of stance when the knee is loaded, excessive internal rotation of the femur may result in lateral patellae maltracking [1,2]. Similarly, the patellofemoral joint may also be influenced by excessive knee valgus, which may be part...
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 کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of Thigh Muscle Resistance Training on Lower Extremity Pain، Strength and Kinematical Parameters in Women With Patellofemoral Complications
Introduction & Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of strengthening the abductor and external rotator of the hip joint muscles on pain, thigh muscle strength, and lower limb kinematics in volleyball players with patellofemoral complications. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four volleyball players with patellofemoral pain were randomly divided into the experimental and co...
