Q-angle represents the resultant force vector of the quadriceps and patellar tendons acting
on the patella. An increased Q-angle has been considered a risk factor for many disorders …

“Muscle tone” is a clinically important and widely used term and palpation is a crucial skill for
its diagnosis. However, the term is defined rather vaguely, and palpation is not measurable …
