VL tends to be stronger and/or activates prior to the VMO Patella tracks laterally in the trochlear groove of the femur 2. Weak hip abductors Excessive femoral internal rotation and adduction under patella Relative lateral distraction of patella Increase patellofemoral joint stress Wear on articular cartilage and altered lower extremity kinematics Prins & Wurff, 2009 Females with patellofemoral pain syndrome have weak hip muscles: a systematic review Review of 5 studies that measured hip strength in females with PFPS Concluded that females with PFPS show decreased strength in hip abduction, external rotation and extension when compared to healthy controls 2. Femoral Internal Rotation/Adduction 3. Relative Lateral Patellar Movement 1. Weak Hip Musculature 4. Knee Pain Increased femoral internal rotation in PFPS with functional movements Increased hip adduction angle in a prolonged run Current rehabilitation of PFPS focuses mainly on knee musculature Use of hip abductor strengthening as a treatment option needs to be investigated INTRODUCTION PFPS Overview PFPS Theory S ystematic Review Purpose METHODS S earch S trategy S creening S trategy Quality Assessment Data Analysis RES ULTS S earch S trategy Quality Assessment Data Extraction Outcomes DIS CUS S ION CONCLUS ION Patellofemoral Pain S yndrome: anterior or retropatellar pain not associated with other identifiable pathological conditions MEDLINE search 1.

(2006): climbing stairs (Y/N questionnaire) Nakagawa et al. (2008): ascending & descending stairs (VAS ) Mascal et al. (2003): stairs in general (VAS ) Large ↓ in pain in participants in the Mascal et al. and Nakagawa et al. studies Tyler et al. had a ↓ in their participant’s pain but at a smaller reduction INTRODUCTION PFPS Overview PFPS Theory S ystematic Review Purpose METHODS S earch S trategy S creening S trategy Quality Assessment Data Analysis RES ULTS S earch S trategy Quality Assessment Data Extraction Outcomes DIS CUS S ION CONCLUS ION Aim: investigate whether patients with PFPS could benefit from hip abductor strengthening to reduce their symptoms Conclus ion: limited amount of clinical research supporting this theory presently Further research required to clarify role of hip muscle strengthening for certain PFPS patients S imilar PFPS theoretical framework: Lack of hip control and/or weak hip musculature Excessive femoral internal rotation and adduction under patella Relative lateral distraction of patella Increase patellofemoral joint stress Wear on articular cartilage and altered lower extremity kinematics Treatment Approach: focus on hip musculature control of femoral movement Chronological progressive improvement in quality of study design 1. Mascal et al. (2003) – case study 2. Tyler et al. (2006) – cohort study 3. Nakagawa et al. (2008) – RCT Comparable outcome measures in all three studies: 1. ∆ hip abductor strength 2. ∆ pain Hip abductor strength ↑ as a result of each treatment protocol Mascal et al. & Nakagawa et al. Combination of ↑ hip muscle strength (abd & ER ) & motor control → improvement of L.E . kinematics Tyler et al. Hip abductor strengthening not clinically significant S uggests other hip musculature reduces femoral internal rotation Mascal et al. & Nakagawa et al. Hip abductor & external rotator strength improvements explain change in hip kinematics recorded pain reduction Tyler et al. Implicates different sets of musculature changes responsible for arriving at the same conclusion of pain reduction These variables were not specifically evaluated and tabulated in any of the included articles Possible increases in core and hip motor control may contribute to the decrease of PFPS symptoms S mall number of studies available Total of 51 participants were studied: → limits the conclusions that can be made from the resulting data Heterogeneity between the included articles: → analysis and comparison more difficult → may result in themes being overlooked and not identified for discussion RCTs Increase sample size Longitudinal studies with short, medium and long-term follow-up periods Exercise protocols with core strengthening and hip motor control exercise Differentiation for hip external rotation, extension and abduction musculature INTRODUCTION PFPS Overview PFPS Theory S ystematic Review Purpose METHODS S earch S trategy S creening S trategy Quality Assessment Data Analysis RES ULTS S earch S trategy Quality Assessment Data Extraction Outcomes DIS CUS S ION CONCLUS ION Physiotherapy Canada Distributed to a large population of our peers Reach PTs across different domains Present research does not conclusively identify the benefits of hip abductor strengthening for PFPS treatment PFPS patients present with unique biomechanical dysfunctions Excessive femoral internal rotation and adduction pathology Multiple hip muscles may be involved Patients with insidious knee pain require thorough assessment of the hip, as well as the knee, to determine cause of pain and best course of treatment Dr. Donna MacIntyre Charlotte Beck Dr. Darlene Reid Dr. E lizabeth Dean
