[PMID: 38341930 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2024.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder associated with functional impairments. Although postural control is commonly assessed in people with PFP, there are inconsistent results regarding potential postural control deficits in this population. RESEARCH QUESTION This review aims to evaluate whether postural control is impaired in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and the effectiveness of interventions on postural control measures. METHODS We searched six databases from their inception to May 5, 2023. We included studies assessing clinic- or laboratory-based postural control measures in people with PFP compared to pain-free controls, and intervention studies with PFP populations. We assessed risk of bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklists and the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. We assessed the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. We used random-effects meta-analyses considering subgroups based on type of task, measure, and intervention. RESULTS Fifty-three studies were included. Very low certainty evidence indicated that people with PFP have shorter anterior (SMD = 0.53, 95 %CI:0.16,0.90), posteromedial (SMD = 0.54, 95 %CI:0.04,1.03) and posterolateral (SMD = 0.59, 95 %CI:0.11,1.07) reach distance, and worse composite score (SMD = 0.46, 95 %CI:0.22,0.70). Very low to moderate certainty evidence indicated that people with PFP have worse anterior-posterior and overall stability indexes during single-leg stance (SMD = -0.71, 95 %CI:-1.29,-0.14; SMD = -0.63, 95 %CI:-0.94,-0.32) and overall stability index during double-leg stance (SMD = -0.39, 95 %CI:-0.78,-0.00), but no differences in center of pressure area during stair ascent (SMD = 0.32, 95 %CI:-2.72, 3.36). Low certainty evidence indicated that kinesio taping improved anterior reach distance (SMD = -0.49, 95 %CI:-0.89,-0.09), while no significant differences were observed between pre- and post-intervention outcomes for conventional rehabilitation and rigid taping. SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians should use clinic- (star excursion or Y-balance tests) and laboratory-based (stability indexes) measures to identify impairments of postural control in people with PFP. Low certainty of evidence suggests short-term improvement in postural control with kinesio taping.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Rauseo, ML, Feairheller, DL, LaRoche, DP, and Cook, SB. Acute effect of dynamic and gluteal resistance exercise warm-up protocols on lower-extremity jump landing mechanics in college-aged females. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 259-265, 2024-Inadequate neuromuscular control of the femur by the gluteal musculature is associated with noncontact and overuse injuries to the knee. Acute bouts of resistance exercises targeting the gluteal musculature can be prescribed as part of a warm-up protocol with the goal of improving subsequent neuromuscular control and performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect that a warm-up protocol including moderate-intensity gluteal resistance exercises (GRE) has on single leg jump landing biomechanics. Seventeen healthy, college-aged, recreationally active females (mean ± SD ; age = 21.4 ± 1.9 years; height = 166.9 ± 5.7 cm; body mass = 62.5 ± 7.4 kg) performed 3 single leg hop trials per leg after completing no warm-up (CON), a dynamic warm-up (DWU), and a dynamic warm-up with gluteal resistance exercises (DWU + GRE) across 3 laboratory visits. Lower extremity kinetic and kinematic variables were assessed during single leg hops from the point of initial foot contact to deepest knee flexion. Biomechanical differences between dominant and nondominant limb landings were also assessed. Dominant limb hip internal rotation angle after DWU + GRE (2.03 ± 9.92°) was significantly greater ( p ≤ 0.05) compared with CON (-3.36 ± 7.74°). Peak knee adduction moment (56.8%), peak knee flexion angle (5.7%), and peak knee external rotation angle (17.0%) were significantly greater ( p ≤ 0.017) in the dominant limb, compared with the nondominant limb, across warm-up protocols. The combined DWU + GRE warm-up protocol did not have a substantial impact on landing biomechanics. Clinicians prescribing GRE before activity should not expect significant changes in movement patterns after a single bout.

Abstract
Introduction/Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the following in persons with midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT): 1) maximal strength and power; 2) neural drive during maximal contractions and contractile function during electrically evoked resting contractions; and 3) whether pain, neural drive, and contractile mechanisms contribute to differences in maximal strength. Methods Twenty-eight volunteers (14 AT, 14 controls) completed isometric, concentric, and eccentric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the plantar flexors in a Biodex™ dynamometer. Supramaximal electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve was performed to quantify neural drive and contractile properties of the plantar flexors. Pain sensitivity was quantified as the pressure-pain thresholds of the Achilles tendon, medial gastrocnemius, and upper trapezius. Results There were no differences in plantar flexion strength or power between AT and controls (isometric MVC: P = 0.95; dynamic MVC: P = 0.99; power: P = 0.98), nor were there differences in neural drive and contractile function (P = 0.55 and P = 0.06, respectively). However, the mechanisms predicting maximal strength differed between groups: neural drive predicted maximal strength in controls (P = 0.02) and contractile function predicted maximal strength in AT (P = 0.001). Although pain did not mediate these relationships (i.e., between maximal strength and its contributing mechanisms), pressure-pain thresholds at the upper trapezius were higher in AT (P = 0.02), despite being similar at the calf (P = 0.24) and Achilles tendon (P = 0.40). Conclusions There were no deficits in plantar flexion strength or power in persons with AT, whether evaluated isometrically, concentrically, or eccentrically. However, the mechanisms predicting maximal plantar flexor strength differed between groups, and systemic pain sensitivity was diminished in AT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The quantitative recruitment of motor units depends on specific demands, including movement velocity. DNA microarrays differ according to sex, and these sex-related differences affect the fiber type composition. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to demonstrate inter-sex differences in the isokinetic parameters, isokinetic phases, and muscle activities and to investigate the correlation between muscle activity and isokinetic data. METHODS: A total of 41 healthy adults (20 male, 21 female) performed concentric knee extension at angular velocities of 60∘/s, 180∘/s, and 240∘/s. The outcome measures consisted of the isokinetic peak moment (PM), normalized PM (PM/BW), total work, and power, alongside the acceleration, iso-speed and deceleration, sub-phases. Muscle activity was recorded from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis using surface EMG. RESULTS: There were significant two-factor main effect and interaction between sex and angular velocity on the power of knee extension and isokinetic phase (p< 0.05). As the velocity increased, the increase in power of males was greater than that of females. In contrast, with the increase in velocity, PM, PM/BW, and total work decreased, but no significant interaction was observed between velocity and sex. At high velocity, males showed higher acceleration ability than females. CONCLUSION: The sex-dependent responses to velocity were more affected by differences in total movement time than force production. Fast isokinetic exercise should consider the acceleration ability rather than the ability to produce force.

Abstract
Cold-Water-Immersion (CWI) has been frequently used to accelerate muscle recovery and to improve performance after fatigue onset. In the present study, the aim was to investigate the effects of different CWI temperatures on neuromuscular activity on quadriceps after acute fatigue protocol. Thirty-six young athletes (16.9 ± 1.4 years-old; 72.1 ± 13.8 kg; 178.4 ± 7.2 cm) were divided into three groups: passive recovery group (PRG); CWI at 5 °C group (5G); and CWI at 10 °C group (10G). All participants performed a fatigue exercise protocol; afterwards, PRG performed a passive recovery (rest), while 5G and 10G were submitted to CWI by means of 5 °C and 10 °C temperatures during 10 min, respectively. Fatigue protocol was performed by knee extension at 40% of isometric peak force from maximal isometric voluntary contraction. Electromyography was used to evaluate neuromuscular performance. The passive recovery and CWI at 5 °C were associated with normalized isometric force and quadriceps activation amplitude from 15 until 120 min after exercise-induced fatigue (F = 7.169, p < 0.001). CWI at 5 °C and 10 °C showed higher muscle activation (F = 6.850, p < 0.001) and lower median frequency (MF) than passive recovery after 15 and 30 min of fatigue (F = 5.386, p < 0.001). For neuromuscular efficiency (NME) recovery, while PRG normalized NME values after 15 min, 5G and 10G exhibited these responses after 60 and 30 min (F = 4.330, p < 0.01), respectively. Passive recovery and CWI at 5 °C and 10 °C revealed similar effects in terms of recovery of muscle strength and NME, but ice interventions resulted in higher quadriceps activation recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dynamic balance is an essential factor for efficient pitching by baseball pitchers. OBJECTIVE: To compare distances reached and lower-extremity muscle activity during the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in baseball pitchers and healthy young adults. METHODS: Nineteen baseball pitchers (BPG) and 20 healthy adults (HAG) were recruited. Surface EMG was used to measure the activity of vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), tibialis anterior, and lateral gastrocnemius. RESULTS: The BPG exhibited greater dynamic balance than in the HAG (p< 0.05) in the posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) directions. For the PM and PL directions, significantly greater muscle activity of VM and VL was found in the BPG than in the HAG (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: SEBT performance is characterized by high-level VM and VL muscle activities. Neuromuscular control of knee extensors, such as the VM and VL of pitchers, might affect the dynamic balance measured by the SEBT.

Abstract
Background It remains unclear as to why patellofemoral pain (PFP) appears in some patients after knee arthroscopy and what influence the quadriceps muscle has on its onset. Purpose To compare muscle thickness, neuromuscular contractility, and quadriceps femoris muscle strength between patients who develop PFP after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and a control group and to compare functional outcomes between these entities. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A prospective longitudinal cohort study was carried out on patients scheduled for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Patients were excluded if they had preoperative PFP, previous knee surgery, or additional surgical procedures (eg, meniscal repair or microfracture). The following were performed preoperatively: magnetic resonance imaging to quantify muscle thickness, surface electromyography to analyze electrical contractility, and an isokinetic study to assess the strength of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Patients also completed a Lysholm functional questionnaire. Six weeks after the index procedure, patients were questioned about the presence of PFP, and the same tests were repeated. The PFP group included patients who developed anterior knee pain postoperatively, while the control group included those who did not develop pain. Results Of 90 initial study patients, 20 were included in the PFP group (23.8%) and 64 in the control group (76.2%); 6 patients were lost to follow-up. Both study groups were comparable on all of the analyzed preoperative variables. Patients in the PFP group had worse results in terms of muscle thickness (9.67 vs 16.55 cm2), electrical contractility (1226.30 vs 1946.11 µV), and quadriceps strength (12.27 vs 20.02 kg; all P < .001). They also presented worse functional results on the Lysholm score (63.05 vs 74.45; P < .001). Conclusion Patients who developed PFP after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy had more quadriceps femoris muscle atrophy as well as a greater decrease in electrical contractility and muscle strength at 6 weeks postsurgically as compared with a control group. The PFP group also had worse postoperative functional results.

Biomechanics Differ for Individuals With Similar Self-Reported Characteristics of Patellofemoral Pain During a High-Demand Multiplanar Movement Task. J Sport Rehabil 2021; 30:860-869. [PMID: 33596543 DOI: 10.1123/jsr.2020-0220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is often categorized by researchers and clinicians using subjective self-reported PFP characteristics; however, this practice might mask important differences in movement biomechanics between PFP patients. OBJECTIVE To determine whether biomechanical differences exist during a high-demand multiplanar movement task for PFP patients with similar self-reported PFP characteristics but different quadriceps activation levels. DESIGN Cross-sectional design. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS A total of 15 quadriceps deficient and 15 quadriceps functional (QF) PFP patients with similar self-reported PFP characteristics. INTERVENTION In total, 5 trials of a high-demand multiplanar land, cut, and jump movement task were performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Biomechanics were compared at each percentile of the ground contact phase of the movement task (α = .05) between the quadriceps deficient and QF groups. Biomechanical variables included (1) whole-body center of mass, trunk, hip, knee, and ankle kinematics; (2) hip, knee, and ankle kinetics; and (3) ground reaction forces. RESULTS The QF patients exhibited increased ground reaction force, joint torque, and movement, relative to the quadriceps deficient patients. The QF patients exhibited: (1) up to 90, 60, and 35 N more vertical, posterior, and medial ground reaction force at various times of the ground contact phase; (2) up to 4° more knee flexion during ground contact and up to 4° more plantarflexion and hip extension during the latter parts of ground contact; and (3) up to 26, 21, and 48 N·m more plantarflexion, knee extension, and hip extension torque, respectively, at various times of ground contact. CONCLUSIONS PFP patients with similar self-reported PFP characteristics exhibit different movement biomechanics, and these differences depend upon quadriceps activation levels. These differences are important because movement biomechanics affect injury risk and athletic performance. In addition, these biomechanical differences indicate that different therapeutic interventions may be needed for PFP patients with similar self-reported PFP characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is assumed that the presence of patellofemoral pain (PFP) may result in compensatory behaviors that can alter trunk kinematics and lower limb mechanics, the influence of the exacerbation of patellofemoral pain on trunk kinematics and lower limb mechanics during stair negotiation has not been established. RESEARCH QUESTION Does the exacerbation of PFP symptoms lead to altered trunk kinematics and lower limb mechanics during stair negotiation? METHODS Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were obtained from 45 women with PFP during stair descent and ascent. Data were obtained before and after a pain exacerbation protocol. The variables of interest were peak trunk, hip, and knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion; peak hip, and knee extensor, and ankle plantarflexor moments. Paired t-tests were used to compare the variables of interest before and after pain exacerbation. RESULTS Following pain exacerbation, there was a decrease in peak knee extensor moment during stair descent (Effect size = -0.68; p = 0.01) and stair ascent (Effect size = -0.56; p = 0.02); as well as in peak ankle dorsiflexion during stair descent (Effect size = -0.33; p = 0.01) and stair ascent (Effect size = -0.30; p = 0.01). An increase in ankle plantarflexor moment during stair descent (Effect size = 0.79; p < 0.01) and stair ascent (Effect size = 0.89; p < 0.01) was also observed. No significant differences were observed for peak trunk, hip, and knee flexion or hip extensor moment (p > 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Our findings show compensatory strategies used by people with PFP in response to symptoms exacerbation that may have a negative impact on knee and ankle mechanics. Our findings also suggest that people with PFP do not seem to change their trunk, hip, and knee flexion or hip extensor moment during stair negotiation in response to symptom exacerbation.
