Sintomas e limitações funcionais de pacientes com síndrome da dor patelofemoral

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the commonest disorders affecting knee joint. This study aimed at evaluating symptoms and functional limitations of PFPS patients. METHOD: Participated in this study 26 PFPS patients (PFPSG) and 31 clinically healthy patients (CG), paired by age, height and body mass. Evaluation cards and Kujala questionnaire were applied. Then patients went through two functional tests: crouching, climbing and descending a step for 30 seconds, in additio… Show more

“…It affects 1 in 4 individuals, with 20 to 40% of the population with ages between 15 and 35 years (3). Some anatomical variations, namely pelvic width, femoral antevesion, quadriceps angle, tibial torsion, quadriceps strength and knee joint laxity, are seen more commonly in women (4). Factors believed to contribute to production of patellar pain include poor alignment between the joint surfaces, muscle shortening, weak vastus medialis oblique (VMO), different recruitment patterns between VMO and vastus lateralis (VL), weak quadriceps muscles, vigorous training and incongruity between patella and femoral trochlear groove (5 -8).…”
