Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain Exhibit Greater Patellofemoral Joint Stress: A Finite Element Analysis Study [PDF]

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2011
To test the hypothesis that individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) exhibit greater patellofemoral joint stress profiles compared to persons who are pain-free.Ten females with PFP and ten gender, age, and activity-matched pain-free controls participated. Patella and femur stress profiles were quantified utilizing subject-specific finite element (FE)

The Influence of Femoral Internal and External Rotation on Cartilage Stresses Within the Patellofemoral Joint [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, 2008
AbstractInternal and external rotation of the femur plays an important role in defining the orientation of the patellofemoral joint, influencing contact areas, pressures, and cartilage stress distributions. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of femoral internal and external rotation on stresses in the patellofemoral cartilage.

The Effect of Heel-to-Toe Drop of Running Shoes on Patellofemoral Joint Stress During Running

Gait and Posture, 2022
Traditional running shoes with heel-to-toe drops is thought to be a contributor to increased patellofemoral joint stress, which is proposed as a mechanism of patellofemoral pain.Is there an increase in patellofemoral joint stress when running in shoes with drops compared to running in shoes without a drop?Lower limbs kinematics and ground reaction ...

Stress Radiographs of the Patellofemoral Joint*

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1996
Patellar instability is usually diagnosed on the basis of the clinical presentation without radiographic confirmation. In the present report, we describe a new radiographic method to demonstrate patellar instability. Axial radiographs were made of the patellofemoral joint of ninety individuals (180 knees) and were then repeated while a medial or ...
