Factors Associated With Visually Assessed Quality of Movement During a Lateral Step-down Test Among Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain

摘要: Study Design Cross-sectional. Objective To determine what physical measures are associated with visually assessed quality of movement among patients patellofemoral pain (PFP). Background An altered pattern has been implicated as a risk factor for PFP. understanding an could potentially help guide prevention and management efforts in Methods Seventy-nine (40 women) Israel Defense Forces soldiers referred to therapy diagnosis PFP were included.
