ImpactModerate impact

The publication appears to influence ongoing conversations, with mentions of its relevance to injury prediction and prevention strategies, suggesting a meaningful impact.

Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined potential risk factors for developing patellofemoral pain (PFP), a common knee condition, by analyzing 18 studies involving 4,818 participants across different groups like military recruits, adolescents, and runners.
  • The review found that some factors like age, height, weight, BMI, body fat, and Q angle are not linked to future PFP, while quadriceps weakness (especially in military recruits) and increased hip abduction strength (in adolescents) are identified as moderate risk factors.
  • The findings highlight the need to focus on modifiable factors, such as muscle strength, to develop better prevention and treatment strategies for PFP.]

Trying to predict injuries is a hard task for clinicians. Case in point is trying to predict who will develop PFJ pain from Neal et al (2019) Read the whole paper here: https://t.co/2CKrpvLfQD Thirsty for more? Take our PFJ Masterclass here: https://t.co/jTUAJ0qDCH https://t.co/EPvZ8ubzPw

A review of 18 studies found that Age, height, weight, body mass index, body fat, and Q angle were not found to be risk factors for patellofemoral pain. However, quad weakness was found to be a risk factor https://t.co/TgtANeSV0l

@sinkyupt しかしながら、大腿四頭筋の弱化や股関節外転筋の強さもリスクファクターと言われたりしてるみたいで興味深いところです

For instance, Systematic Reviews for PFP https://t.co/0LdUCoGgde and ACL injury https://t.co/kmw1oCZiw5 would suggest differing risk factors, with ACL demonstrating much more trunk involvement 3/n
