Gluteal muscle inhibition: Consequences of patellofemoral pain?

摘要: Abstract Muscle weakness is a common impairment in females with patellofemoral pain (PFP), clinically seen both the quadriceps and gluteal muscles. These weaknesses have been suggested to result poor movement patterns, which results clinical presentation of due increased stress on joint. While identified as risk factor for development PFP, prospective studies not found muscle be factor. Therefore, may fact consequence PFP. This often combated traditional strengthening programs. interventions improve short-term subjective function strength, yet their relationship long-term outcomes are less than optimal. Strength training gluteals also does transition improved patterns this population. The presence hip inhibition explanation altered patterns. Assessment methods studied quadriceps, commonly conducted superimposed burst technique calculate an activation ratio. use method used gluteus medius maximus muscles determine if musculature present knowledge would provide clinicians more complete picture dysfunction lead paradigm shift treatment strategies chronic condition. We hypothesize that PFP compared healthy controls it associated decreased longer duration symptoms.
