摘要: BACKGROUND Sex differences in passive patellar mobility have not been quantitatively evaluated. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to: 1) investigate sex absolute and normalized mobility, 2) verify the relationship between knee joint laxity. METHODS Two hundred five pain-free individuals (205 knees, 103 men, 102 women) participated. Passive lateral medial displacement was measured using a modified patellofemoral arthrometer manual pushing method at 0∘ 30∘ flexion angles. values of (LPD MPD, respectively), to width (PW) body height (HT) were used final analysis. RESULTS At angle, LPD/PW LPD/HT greater women than men (LPD/PW: 27.0 ± 6.7% vs. 22.6 6.7%, LPD/HT: 0.81 0.19% 0.70 0.15%, respectively, P 0.50). Absolute correlated positively with range extension angle. CONCLUSIONS detected healthy subjects. Although angle related both direction relations only fairly asymptomatic young
