The patellofemoral (PF) joint is the knee compartment most commonly affected by
osteoarthritis (OA). Even mild PF OA is associated with considerable pain and functional …

Background Impairments in hamstring strength, flexibility, and morphology have been
associated with altered knee biomechanics, pain, and function. Determining the presence of …

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) syndrome is closely associated with muscle
tightness. However, studies regarding the effects of stretching exercises on PFP patients …

Articular cartilage experiences significant mechanical loads during daily activities. Healthy
cartilage provides the capacity for load bearing and regulates the mechanobiological …

Asymmetry in the alignment of the lower limbs during weight-bearing activities is associated
with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), caused by an increase in patellofemoral (PF) …

Hip extensor strategy, specifically relative contribution of gluteus maximus versus
hamstrings, will influence quadriceps effort required during squat exercise, as hamstrings …

We combined computational modelling with experimental gait data to describe and explain
load distribution across the medial and lateral facets of the patella during normal walking …

Background Local neuromuscular deficits have been reported in people with patellofemoral
pain. We synthesised the neuromuscular characteristics associated with patellofemoral pain …

Patellofemoral joint integrity is maintained by an optimal interaction of passive, dynamic and
structural restraints. Disruption of these mechanics can lead to structural joint damage and …

Background The current study was performed to correlate anatomical parameters related to
trochlear dysplasia, tibial tuberosity position, and patella alta with in vivo patellar tracking for …
