Patellofemoral pain in cyclists
… to review the current literature that deals with patellofemoral pain in cyclists. The second aim was to investigate the possibility of reducing media-lateral deviation during the down stroke of cycling, by altering the biomechanics of the lower limb and, to observe the effect of this reduction on …

Finite Element Modeling and Validation of the Patellofemoral Joint
The patellofemoral joint is part of the knee joint, which is considered the largest joint in the human body. The patellofemoral joint is composed of the patella, a flat, rounded triangular bone, the distal part of the femur, which forms an inverted U-shaped intercondylar groove, and the articular …

Evaluation of risk factors associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is the most common diagnosis in patients presenting knee pain (~25%), and one of the most common diagnosis in sports medicine centers. Here we examine believed risk factors in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) and assess their relationship to PFPS. …

Design of swimming fins to treat Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
… inner quadriceps muscle, to help patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Configurations of mock up fins, made from Lexan, were designed based off of a known dry land exercise that consisted of leg lifts with the feet turned out 45 degrees that work the Vastus Medialis. From the feedback of a …

The Effects of Gait Retraining in Runners With Patellofemoral Pain
… in running-related injuries. Of these injuries, patellofemoral pain (PFP) is the most commonly reported. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether gait retraining by modifying footstrike patterns from rearfoot strike (RFS) to forefoot strike (FFS) reduces PFP and improves …

The Biomechanics of Sit-to-Stand and Physical Performance in Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis
… the knee is common in Western society. OA of the patellofemoral (PF) compartment of the knee is prevalent in adults greater than 55 years of age. Isolated radiographic PFOA is present in 13.6-24% of females and 11-15.4% of males with knee pain. Biomechanical factors such as tibiofemoral alignment …

The role of muscle dysfunction in patellofemoral pain : influence of different treatment approaches
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is the most frequently diagnosed condition in patients with knee complaints and is particularly prevalent in young physically active individuals. Studies revealed that despite receiving treatment, the majority of individuals with PFP suffer from persistent complaints, …

An investigation of potential kinematic factors associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome during running
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common clinical condition affecting physically active individuals. It is characterised by pain behind or around the patella during loading of the lower limb. It is recognised that there are multiple factors that contribute to PFPS; however these factors are …

Evaluation of variables affecting lower extremity alignment in the aetiology of patellofemoral pain syndrome
The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee disorder in a wide range of physically active individuals which, in general, is caused by multiple risk factors affecting the alignment of the patellofemoral joint. The role of many presumed risk factors in the aetiology of PFPS remains …

Kinetic and 3D Kinematic analysis of netball movements: with and without prophylactic knee bracing
Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain conditions, with a multifactorial aetiology. It is reported that young females are at high risk of developing patellofemoral pain. During dynamic, fast-paced games athletes are exposed to high ground reaction forces, contributing to …

The effect of medial patellar taping on pain, strength and neuromuscular recruitment in subjects with and without patellofemoral pain
Patellofemoral disorders are amongst the most common clinical conditions encountered in the sporting and general population [8, 33, 68]. Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is usually described as diffuse, peripatellar, anterior knee pain [8, 61].

The kinematic effects of three quarter and full length foot orthoses on anterior knee pain sufferers when walking and descending stairs
Background: Patellofemoral pain is a common disorder whose aetiology is complex often being described as multifactorial, increased load of the patellofemoral joint is often attributed to foot function. Foot orthoses are commonly prescribed for this condition; however the mechanisms by which they …
