“…Thus, the results clearly indicated a differentiation by gender and height. Both variables, according to authors such as Kasitinon et al [ 54 ], influence the Q-angle, and this in turn, the patellofemoral involvement. Men are associated with a lower Q-angle than women and tall people are associated with a smaller Q-angle than short people [ 54 ].…”

Men are associated with a lower Q-angle than women and tall people are associated with a smaller Q-angle than short people [ 54 ]. As for the three clusters generated, two of them (clusters 1 and 3) included subjects with healthier outcomes according to the scores of all questionnaires.…”

Objectives To determine the most appropriate method of functional assessment for "patellofemoral pain" (PFP)/“chondromalacia patella” for its diagnostic value, (validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and clinical applicability); to outline initial interpretations of the questionnaires and their appropriateness, through the cut-off points determined in their scores based on physical test and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); to establish which methods should be used in conjunction with each other to obtain clinical diagnoses that are robust effective and efficient. Methods (1)Intra- and inter-observer reliability and of the relationship among PFP questionnaires/physical tests validated. (2)Predictive capacity of the questionnaires. Subject: 113 knees with PFP, assessed using “Knee-injury-and-Osteoarthritis Outcome-Score-for-Patellofemoral-pain-and-osteoarthritis” (KOOS-PF), “Kujala-Patellofemoral-Score” (KPS), “Victorian-Institute-of-Sports-Assessment-for-Patellar-tendons-questionnaire” (VISA-P), and the physical tests: “patellar-palpation”, “patellar-tilt”, “patellar-apprehension”, “Clarke” and “squat”. Results Questionnaires correlations themselves was 0.78<r<0.86. Tests intra-rater reliability was “excellent”. Squat inter-rater reliability was “excellent”/“good”. Palpation, tilt, Clarke and squat showed a statistically significant relationship (p<0.05) with all questionnaires/specific items. AUC of the questionnaires showed a "useful" accuracy, except for Tilt. No statistically significant differences were found between grades 0 and 1 chondromalacia (by MRI) knee scores, but between 1 and ≥2. AUC of the questionnaires showed "useful" accuracy. Conclusions KOOS-PF, KPS and VISA-P demonstrated their diagnostic value in PFP/chondromalacia (validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and clinical applicability). KOOS-PF was the most versatile, and the most appropriate in mild cases and for early detection and prevention. Squat was the best due to its reliability and clinical relationship with the questionnaires, which predicted it correctly. The functional assessment tools discussed should be applied by combining them with each other.

“…Toe out positioning at setup to allow for hip ER, as well as allowing both the lead and trail foot to move off the ground (as opposed to remaining planted) during backswing and downswing may help to reduce forces through the knee. Because strength and mobility deficits at the hip and ankle can manifest symptoms within the knee, a multifaceted approach is advised that encompasses the entire lower extremity complex (45,46).…”

Golf is a popular sport played by individuals of varying age and skillsets. The golf swing is unique and complex, creating potential for various musculoskeletal injuries in both amateur and professional golfers. Understanding the basic biomechanics of the golf swing and its relation to injury etiology can assist the health care provider in recognizing and preventing musculoskeletal injuries secondary to golf. Most injuries occur in the upper limb and the lumbar spine. This review describes musculoskeletal pathologies seen in golfers with respect to anatomic area and golf swing biomechanics, while summarizing effective prevention strategies and swing modifications to address these potential injuries.

“…It is worth noting that roughly a quarter of recreational athletes diagnosed with PFPS quit their athletic endeavors due to knee pain. [ 3 ] The pathogenesis of PFPS remains incompletely understood but may be linked to aberrations in shear and compression forces acting on the patellofemoral joint. [ 4 , 5 ] Likewise, muscle imbalances affecting the internal and external femoral obliques are posited as crucial factors in the development of PFPS.…”

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Kinesio tape in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) by meta-analysis. Methods: Two investigators independently conducted an electronic literature search to assess the outcomes of intramuscular patches for PFPS. Electronic databases included PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Database, Chinese Journal Full Text Database (CNKI), and Wipo Database from November 2023. Extracted inclusion indicators included pain score VAS or NRS, knee function assessment knee pain syndrome (Kujala) score, and knee symptom score Lysholm knee score scale. Data were extracted and then meta-analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 software and Stata 17.0 software. Result: Fourteen studies were included, all of which were randomized controlled studies. The results showed that short-term pain relief was superior in the Kinesio tape (KT) group compared with the control group, with a statistically significant difference in the results (MD = −1.54, 95% CI [−2.32, −0.76], P = .0001); medium-term pain relief was superior in the KT group compared with the control group, with a statistically significant difference in the results (MD = −0.84, 95% CI [−1.50, −0.18], P = .01); long-term pain relief in the KT group was better than the control group, with statistically different results (MD = −0.56, 95% CI [−0.98, −0.13], P < .00001). In contrast, there was no significant difference between the KT group and the control group in the assessment of knee function (MD = −0.98, 95% CI [−4.03, 2.06], P = .03), and there was no significant difference between the KT group and the control group in the Lysholm knee score scale score of knee symptoms (MD = 4.18, 95% CI [−6.70, 15.05], P = .45). Conclusion: Kinesio taping can effectively relieve the pain of PFPS, but has no significant effect on the improvement of knee joint function and symptoms.
