Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Pain in the front of the knee plagues the sports community, most commonly the runner's knee or patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). They experienced this pain during their career. Comparing the possibility of male and female athletes with knee pain, the prevalence of female athletes is higher than that of male athletes (Dolak KL). Patella femoral joint pain has several different mechanisms. Flattened fossa, increased Q angle, weak, tight or quadriceps muscle, or hip joint muscle imbalance.

Background: Patellar femoral pain syndrome is a common disease among young people. It is widely believed that abnormal patella tracking plays a role in the development of patellofemoral syndrome, but this relationship has not been established. The purpose of this cross-sectional case-control study examines the hypothesis that the pattern of tibial rotation, tilt and lateral movement can distinguish clinical evidence of patellofemoral joint pain syndrome and tibial articular protrusion and patellofemoral joint pain syndrome Was that. And without asymmetric clinical evidence and people without knee problems

A research team at Queen's University in Canada solved this uncertainty in 2006. "It is widely believed that abnormal patella tracking plays a role in the development of patellofemoral syndrome, but this relationship has not been established yet," they wrote. "Our goal is to check thoroughly." They saw three groups of people: they used super-superior technology to accurately assess all knee alignment and tracking It was. They found a correlation between the knee joints slightly displaced laterally with respect to the PFPS, which was only "slightly significant". "A very subtle 2.25 mm displacement

Brosseau et al. (2001) early review did not show that ultrasound is clinically important for pain relief in patients with patellofemoral joint pain syndrome. However, due to the flaws in the methodology included in this review and the limitations of the research, they were unable to draw conclusions. Wilkin, Merrick, Kirby, and Devor (2004) examined the effect of pulse ultrasound on skeletal muscle healing in 80 rats per week. The results indicate that the applied pulsed ultrasound does not accelerate or improve the regeneration of skeletal muscle tissue after contusion. Similarly, Markert, Merrick, Kirby, and Devor (2005) conducted a randomized controlled trial of rats and provided evidence that certain continuous ultrasound and exercise therapies promote regeneration of skeletal muscle tissue after contusion I have not found it.
