Correlation between Dorsiflexion Ankle Range of Motion and Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Abstract: The change in lower extremity movement pattern has been previously associated with severe knee disorders, including anterior cruciate ligament rupture, patellar tendinopathy, iliotibial band syndrome, and patellofemoral pain (PFP). The aim of this study was to verify the clinical reliability of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ADROM) measurement with weight bearing (WB) using an app on the smartphone (iHand) and to verify if there is correlation between the limitation of the ADROM and the PFP. A total of 67… Show more

“…Sabe-se que existe associação entre o mau alinhamento da articulação subtalar com as desordens biomecânicas que podem acometer os membros inferiores 22 . Além disso, um estudo 23 observou uma relação entre varismo acentuado do retropé e dor femoropatelar em mulheres na faixa etária de 18 a 40 anos, ademais, esses mesmos autores sugerem que uma redução no movimento de dorsiflexão do tornozelo pode diminuir a mobilidade do joelho no plano sagital durante o agachamento.…”

“…The greater GMED's MT and plantar flexor muscle mass, and the smaller plantar flexion flexibility observed in patients with PFP, 48 may explain the lower ankle dorsiflexion range of motion previously observed in patients with PFP. 49 The reduction in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion is associated with the increase in hip and knee movements in the frontal and transverse planes and with knee mobility reduction. [50][51][52] In addition, a previous study observed that individuals with excessive dynamic knee valgus showed greater GMED activation during a squatting task.…”
