Fixed rotation of either the femur or tibia has a significant influence on the patellofemoral
joint contact areas and pressures. This is due to the anatomic asymmetry in the knee with …

This review describes anatomic features of the patellofemoral joint that relate to the stability
and function of the joint. The role of the geometry of the articular surfaces, particularly the …

The patellofemoral joint is a joint that can be an area of concern for athletes of various sports
and ages. The joint is somewhat complex with multiple contact points and numerous tissues …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) demonstrate
elevated patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress compared with pain-free controls during free and …

One proposed mechanism of patellofemoral pain, increased stress in the joint, is dependent
on forces generated by the quadriceps muscles. Describing causal relationships between …

This review presents objective data, as far as possible, about the current understanding of
the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint as it pertains to the management of …

Background Recreational runners frequently suffer from chronic pathologies. The knee and
ankle have been highlighted as common injury sites. Barefoot and barefoot inspired …

Bioemchanics of the entire knee joint including tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints were
investigated at different flexion angles (0° to 90°) and quadriceps forces (3, 137, and 411 N) …

Study Design Cross-sectional, repeated-measures. Objectives To examine the association
between sagittal plane trunk posture and patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress, and to determine …
