The Influence of Altered Lower-Extremity Kinematics on Patellofemoral Joint Dysfunction: A Theoretical Perspective

摘要: Although patellofemoral pain (PFP) is recognized as being one of the most common disorders lower extremity, treatment guidelines and underlying rationales remain vague controversial. The premise behind approaches that PFP result abnormal patellar tracking and/or malalignment. Given such, interventions typically focus on joint itself have traditionally included strengthening vastus medialis oblique, taping, bracing, soft tissue mobilization, mobilization. More recently, it has been and, therefore, may be influenced by interaction segments joints extremity. In particular, motion tibia femur in transverse frontal planes an effect mechanics. With this mind, aimed at controlling hip pelvic (proximal stability) ankle/foot (distal warranted shoul...
