The influence of pain exacerbation on rear foot eversion and plantar pressure symmetry in women with patellofemoral pain: a cross sectional study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress as a primary mechanical stimulus in the patellofemoral pain (PFP) etiology is affected by plantar pressure symmetry.

Diagnostic value of the patellar tendon–lateral trochlear ridge distance and the patellar tendon–trochlear groove angle in differentiating lateral patellar instability from malalignment‐induced patellofemoral pain

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the patellar tendon–lateral trochlear ridge (PT‐LTR) distance and patellar tendon–trochlear groove angle (PT‐TGA) between patients with lateral patellar instability (LPI) and those with malalignment‐induced patellofemoral pain (PFP), and to evaluate their differential diagnostic validity.

Mechanical axis correction after total knee arthroplasty alters ankle alignment but does not affect ankle function

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) restores knee function, but correction of coronal plane deformities may alter the biomechanics of adjacent joints. This study aimed to determine whether changes in knee alignment after TKA have clinical or radiological effects on the ankle.

Soleus subtendon elongation is reduced by individual suturing of Achilles subtendons after rupture

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
The findings supported the hypothesis that individually suturing soleus and gastrocnemius subtendons reduces soleus subtendon elongation by approximately 50% compared with the standard technique 1 week after Achilles tendon repair. Although both subtendons elongated over 6 months, soleus elongation remained significantly lower with individual suturing,

Effects of fatigue are more pronounced on the uninjured side during single‐limb jumps 2 years after an acute Achilles tendon rupture

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is a serious lower limb injury that may result in persistent deficits in strength and endurance of the calf muscles. Compensatory mechanisms at proximal joints are known, but the effects of fatigue are less studied.

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

Should Paratonia Be Considered a Movement Disorder? Implications for Clinical Management

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Paratonia is an involuntary and variable resistance to passive movement that emerges with cognitive decline in dementias of different etiologies, with prevalence approaching 90% to 100% in end‐stage disease. It is common in Parkinson disease and the atypical parkinsonisms.
