“…Q angle is the angle between the quadriceps muscle extensor mechanism and the patellar tendon [1]. Clinically, drawing two imaginary lines from the anterior superior iliac spine to the center of the patella and from the tibial tuberosity through the middle of the patella creates the Q angle in the frontal plane [1]. Normal values of Q angle are reported to range from 10° to 14° for males, and 14.5° to 17° for females [2].…”

Introduction: Lower extremity biomechanics affects the relationship between Q angle, quadriceps muscle activation and the balance. Objectiveː The aim was to examine the relationship between Q angle and quadriceps muscle activation on dynamic balance position in women. Materials and Methodsː Forty women were included in the study. The muscle activation of the quadriceps during dynamic balance in a single leg stance was recorded. A tape measure was used to measure Q angle, surface electromyography was used to assess muscle activation, the Flamingo Balance Test was used to assess static balance, the TechnoBody PK 200WL computerized balance device was used to assess dynamic balance, and the Short Form Musculoskeletal Assessment was used to assess functionality. Resultsː There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the Q angle standing and supine position and vastus medialis muscle activation respectively, (r=0.35, p=0,02; r=0.40, p=0.01). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the perimeter length and Q angle in standing/supine position respectively, (r=0.33, p=0.04; r=0.32, p=0.04). Area gap percentage and Q angle standing (r=0.89, p=0.02), supine position Q angle values (r=0.63, p=0.03) were positively correlated. Conclusionː If vastus medialis is more strengthened, Q angle would be more normalized, so quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises are helpful for the normalization of the Q angle. Also, when the Q angle is normalized, a single leg balance would be revealed.

BACKGROUND: The ankle sprain is the most common ankle injury. Although the factors that increase the risk of ankle injury are included in the literature, the definitive evidence is controversial. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to examine whether Q-angle, lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA), and hip muscle torque are associated with ankle sprain. METHODS: Thirty-six individuals who underwent an axial X-ray examination of the lower extremity following ankle sprain were included. The Q-angle and LDTA were measured on the axial knee X-rays on both sides. The isometric muscle strength was measured with a digital handheld dynamometer for the quadriceps femoris muscle, the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus maximus muscle. Muscle torques were calculated by multiplying isometric muscle strength values with the distance to the joint center. RESULTS: Discrimination analysis shows that the gluteus maximus (0.90), gluteus medius (0.49), quadriceps femoris muscle torques (0.34), and lateral distal tibial angle (0.43) were the factors that most contributed to ankle sprain. No significant relationship was found between the Q-angle and ankle sprain (p = 0.603). A strong relationship was found between LDTA, quadriceps femoris, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscle torques and ankle sprain (p = 0.014, p < 0.001, p = 0.011, p = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the torques of the proximal muscle may be more related than the Q-angle to lateral ankle sprain injury. Individuals with high LDTA should also be carefully examined for the risk of ankle sprain.
