Recent advances in understanding the biomechanics of patellofemoral pain
While much of the major clinical and research interest in patellofemoral pain (PFP) has been targeted to the local knee muscles, it has long been recognized that proximal (hip and pelvis) biomechanics may be impaired in people with PFP. This clinical observation has led to recent research in pelvis and hip muscle contributions to PFP. Hip muscles (particularly the abductors and external rotator...
متن کاملIntraarticular arthrofibrosis of the knee alters patellofemoral contact biomechanics
BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval can develop after knee injury or surgery, resulting in anterior knee pain. These adhesions have not been biomechanically characterized. METHODS The biomechanical effects of adhesions in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval during simulated quadriceps muscle contraction from 0 to 90° of knee flexion were assess...
متن کاملChanges in knee biomechanics after a hip-abductor strengthening protocol for runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
CONTEXT Very few authors have investigated the relationship between hip-abductor muscle strength and frontal-plane knee mechanics during running. OBJECTIVE To investigate this relationship using a 3-week hip-abductor muscle-strengthening program to identify changes in strength, pain, and biomechanics in runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Univers...
متن کاملBasic kinematics and biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint part 2: the patella in total knee arthroplasty.
Patellar and femoral component in total knee arthroplasty are inextricably linked as a functional unit. The configuration of this unit has been a matter of ongoing debate, and the myriad of different patellar and femoral components currently available reflect the lack of consensus with respect to the ideal design. One of the major challenges is to overcome the biomechanical disadvantages of a s...
متن کاملIn vitro method for assessing the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint following total knee arthroplasty.
The patellofemoral joint is a common site of pain and failure following total knee arthroplasty. A contributory factor may be adverse patellofemoral biomechanics. Cadaveric investigations are commonly used to assess the biomechanics of the joint, but are associated with high inter-specimen variability and often cannot be carried out at physiological levels of loading. This study aimed to evalua...
