Hip functions influence on knee dysfunction: a proximal link to a distal problem.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this commentary is to describe the multifactorial relationships between hip-joint strength, range of motion, kinetics/kinematics, and various knee pathologies, specifically as they relate across an individual's life span. Understanding the interdependence between the hip and knee joints in respect to functional activity is a necessary and relevant aspect for clinicians to investigate to ameliorate various pathological presentations at the knee that might have a proximal relationship.

متن کاملFunctional difference between the proximal and distal compartments of the semitendinosus muscle
[Purpose] The tendinous inscription divides the semitendinosus muscle into the proximal and distal compartments. It was hypothesized that there are functional differences between those compartments. [Subjects and Methods] Seven adult males performed knee flexion and hip extension in the prone position. An ultrasound device measured the decrease in the length of muscle fibers in the two compartm...
متن کاملPostthrombotic syndrome after hip or knee arthroplasty: a cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND Although the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) has been addressed in patients with symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT), less information is available on the incidence in patients who develop asymptomatic DVT after major hip or knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVES To determine whether symptomatic PTS occurs more frequently in patients who develop DVT after hip or knee arthr...
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...
