Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the anxiety level to perform movements in patients after revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) combined with lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) compared to patients after revision ACLR without LET. METHODS Ninety patients who underwent revision ACLR with ipsilateral bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft and with a minimum of 12 months follow-up were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: patients who received revision ACLR in combination with LET (revision ACLR_LET group; mean follow-up: 29.4 months, range: 12-80 months), and patients who received revision ACLR without LET (revision ACLR group; mean follow-up: 61.1 months, range: 22-192 months). All patients filled in a questionnaire about anxiety level related to physical activity and sports, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective form (IKDCsubjective), and the Tegner Activity Score. RESULTS Patients in the revision ACLR_LET group had a significantly lower anxiety level to perform movements than patients in the revision ACLR group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in KOOS, IKDCsubjective, and Tegner Activity Scores. CONCLUSIONS Patients who received LET in addition to revision ACLR have a lower anxiety level to perform movements than patients with revision ACLR alone, despite non-different subjective functional outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study, Level of evidence: III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between behavioral and psychological traits with indicators of central sensitization in female runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP), and to determine if behavioral and psychological traits improve with strength training. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-eight active females (mean age 32 ± 8.1 years) with PFP completed testing at baseline, 8 weeks (post intervention), and 12 weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Behavioral and psychological questionnaires included the General Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionairre-9, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, and Central Sensitization Inventory. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) measures were also collected. After baseline testing, subjects were instructed in a hip and knee strengthening intervention to be completed twice daily over 8 weeks. RESULTS A statistically significant improvement was found at 12 weeks for anxiety (p = .015; ηp (Boling et al., 2010) = 0.099) and kinesiophobia (p = .041; ηp (Boling et al., 2010) = 0.076). There was no significant improvement for depression, catastrophizing, or subjective central sensitization. No significant correlations were found between any of the behavioral and psychological questionnaires with baseline QST variables. CONCLUSIONS No relationship was found for behavioral and psychological characteristics with QST measures in female runners with persistent PFP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adding education to trunk and hip exercises in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP). DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SETTING Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Sixty patients with PFP (N=60) were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (education followed by trunk and hip exercises, n=30) or a control group (trunk and hip exercises, n=30). INTERVENTIONS Both groups received 8 weeks of trunk and hip exercises, while patients in the experimental group participated in 3 prior education sessions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was pain; secondary outcomes were pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, function, and muscle strength. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, after 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 3 months post-intervention (follow-up). RESULTS No significant between-group differences were observed for pain outcome post-intervention. The experimental group showed superiority over the control group in the improvement of pain catastrophizing (mean difference: -2.32; 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.059 to 0.028) and kinesiophobia (mean difference: -3.56; 95% CI -1.067 to -0.035) at post-intervention. In the experimental group, improvements were maintained at follow-up assessment for all outcomes, except muscle strength. CONCLUSION Adding education to trunk and hip exercises was associated with greater improvements in psychological outcomes than trunk and hip exercises alone after the intervention. Education can be incorporated when designing trunk and hip exercises for patients with PFP.

Abstract
CONTEXT Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common source of knee pain in active individuals, accounting for a large number of knee injuries examined in sports medicine clinics. As a chronic condition, PFP can affect mental health. However, this effect has not yet been studied in individuals with PFP. OBJECTIVE To determine how subjective physical and mental health measures in individuals with PFP differed from those measures in pain-free individuals. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Volunteers for the study were 30 people with PFP (19 women, 11 men; age = 20.23 ± 3.32 years, height = 166.69 ± 6.41 cm, mass = 69.55 ± 13.15 kg) and 30 matched pain-free individuals (19 women, 11 men; age = 20.33 ± 3.37 years, height = 169.31 ± 9.30 cm, mass = 64.02 ± 11.00 kg). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Current and worst pain levels in the past 24 hours were determined using a visual analog scale (VAS). The Anterior Knee Pain Scale, Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire, and Lower Extremity Functional Scale were administered. Physical and mental health measures were obtained using a modified 12-item Short Form Health Survey. Scores for 2 subscales on the modified Short Form-12 were weighted and calculated: physical component and mental component.Independent t tests were calculated to compare variables between groups. Coefficient correlations were used to measure the associations between the variables. RESULTS Individuals with PFP reported lower levels of physical (pain free: 56.13 ± 1.63, PFP: 50.54 ± 7.10, P < .001) and mental (pain-free: 53.32 ± 4.71, PFP: 48.64 ± 10.53, P = .03) health. In the PFP group, we found moderate negative correlations between the VAS score for current pain and mental health (r = -0.52, P < .01) and between the VAS score for worst pain in the past 24 hours and mental health (r = -0.46, P = .01) and between activity limitations in individuals with PFP and fear avoidance beliefs (r = -0.61, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Our results should encourage clinicians, especially musculoskeletal rehabilitation professionals, to acknowledge the importance of a whole-person approach when treating or planning rehabilitation programs for individuals with PFP.

Kinesiophobia Is Associated With Poor Function and Modifiable Through Interventions in People With Patellofemoral Pain: A Systematic Review With Individual Participant Data Correlation Meta-Analysis. Phys Ther 2023; 103:pzad074. [PMID: 37354454 PMCID: PMC10517194 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzad074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and correlation meta-analysis was to identify factors associated with kinesiophobia in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and to identify interventions that may reduce kinesiophobia in individuals with PFP. METHODS Seven databases were searched for articles including clinical factors associated with kinesiophobia or interventions that may reduce kinesiophobia in individuals with PFP. Two reviewers screened articles for inclusion, assessed risk of bias and quality, and extracted data from each study. A mixed-effects model was used to calculate correlations of function and pain with kinesiophobia using individual participant data. Meta-analyses were performed on interventional articles; Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was used to evaluate certainty of evidence. Results were reported narratively when pooling was not possible. RESULTS Forty-one articles involving 2712 individuals were included. Correlation meta-analyses using individual participant data indicated a moderate association between self-reported function and kinesiophobia (n = 499; r = -0.440) and a weak association between pain and kinesiophobia (n = 644; r = 0.162). Low-certainty evidence from 2 articles indicated that passive treatment techniques were more effective than minimal intervention in reducing kinesiophobia (standardized mean difference = 1.11; 95% CI = 0.72 to 1.49). Very low-certainty evidence from 5 articles indicated that interventions to target kinesiophobia (psychobehavioral interventions, education, and self-managed exercise) were better in reducing kinesiophobia than physical therapist treatment approaches not specifically targeting kinesiophobia (standardized mean difference = 1.64; 95% CI = 0.14 to 3.15). CONCLUSION Higher levels of kinesiophobia were moderately associated with poorer function and weakly associated with higher pain in individuals with PFP. Taping and bracing may reduce kinesiophobia immediately after use, and specific kinesiophobia-targeted interventions may reduce kinesiophobia following the full intervention; however, the certainty of evidence is very low. IMPACT Assessment of kinesiophobia in clinical practice is recommended, on the basis of the relationships identified between kinesiophobia and other important factors that predict outcomes in individuals with PFP.

Patellofemoral pain over time: Protocol for a prospective, longitudinal study investigating physical and non-physical features. Front Sports Act Living 2023; 4:1081943. [PMID: 36713948 PMCID: PMC9875135 DOI: 10.3389/fspor.2022.1081943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This is a protocol for a prospective longitudinal study that aims to investigate: (1) group-by-time changes over a minimum of 15 months follow-up in patellofemoral pain (PFP) symptoms, biomechanical, muscle function, pain processing, and psychological features; (2) the extent to which changes in biomechanical, muscle function, pain processing, and psychological features are associated with changes in self-reported pain, physical performance measures, self-reported function, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and physical activity level. Methods Individuals with PFP (n = 144) and control individuals (n = 85) without PFP were assessed at baseline. Outcomes assessed included: 3D kinematics and kinetics during single leg squat, step-down and single leg hop; maximal torque and rate of torque development of hip abductors and knee extensors/flexors; force steadiness of hip abductors and knee extensors; anterior and lateral trunk endurance; pressure pain thresholds at the center of patella and contralateral shoulder; kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia); pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale); worst self-reported pain (Visual Analogue Scale); physical performance measures (Single Leg Hop Test and Forward Step-Down Test); self-reported function (Anterior Knee Pain Scale); HRQOL (Medical Outcome Short-Form 36), and physical activity level (Baecke's Questionnaire). Follow-up assessments will be identical to the baseline and will be performed after a minimum of 15 months. Generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) will be used to investigate group-by-time differences. Linear regression models will be used to determine the extent to which changes in biomechanical, muscle function, pain processing, and psychological features are associated with changes in self-reported pain, physical performance measures, self-reported function, HRQOL, and physical activity level. Discussion Physical and non-physical features have been previously associated with PFP. However, the present study will be the first to investigate their integrated evolution as part of the natural history of PFP and its progression. In doing so, we will be able to determine their behavior in the long-term, as well as how they prospectively associate with each other and with clinical outcomes. Ultimately, this will provide a greater understanding of predictors of long-term outcome and possible targets for interventions.

Are Physical Function and Fear of Movement Risk Factors for Patellofemoral Pain? A 2-Year Prospective Study. J Sport Rehabil 2023; 32:24-30. [PMID: 35894902 DOI: 10.1123/jsr.2021-0392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT To determine (1) whether physical function and fear of movement are prospectively associated with the risk of females developing patellofemoral pain (PFP) and (2) whether they change following development of PFP. DESIGN Prospective observational study. METHODS A total of 114 asymptomatic females (18-22 y old) completed assessment of physical function (forward step-down test and single-leg hop for distance) and fear of movement using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia at baseline and 2-year follow-up. Presence of symptoms of PFP was monitored bimonthly. RESULTS Ninety participants (retention rate = 79%) completed the 2-year follow-up assessment, with 27 (24% of the cohort) developing PFP. Physical function, including forward step-down test (P = .659) and single-leg hop for distance (P = .825), and fear of movement (P = .479) were not associated with the risk of developing PFP. Females who developed PFP presented with reduced forward step-down repetitions (mean difference = 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.2 to 5.3) and single-leg hop for distance (10.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.7 to 17.7 cm) at 2-year follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference between those who did and did not develop PFP for fear of movement (-3.4; 95% confidence interval, -7.0 to 0.2). CONCLUSIONS Physical function and fear of movement were not associated with the risk of developing PFP in young females. However, the change over time in the step-down and single-leg hop for distance tests may suggest that, even in the early stages of PFP, young females present impaired physical function compared with females who did not develop symptoms. Fear of movement may develop due to persistent PFP, and does not appear to be a risk factor or key feature in females with PFP of short symptoms duration.
