“…Another Brazilian study found much higher prevalence in of over of valgus knee (56.0%), however, over 60.0% of the examined population was overweight or obese, which could have strongly affected the results [41]. In our study a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of valgus knee in normal, overweight, and obese children was observed, consistent with previous studies [25, 26]. In addition we found sex-specific differences in the prevalence of knee and heel defects, which was in contrast to findings of Walker et al [42].…”

“…In those available, the prevalence of valgus and varus knee varies significantly. A Brazilian study by Ciaccia et al [26] reported the 7.1% prevalence of knee valgus in children aged 7–12. Another Brazilian study found much higher prevalence in of over of valgus knee (56.0%), however, over 60.0% of the examined population was overweight or obese, which could have strongly affected the results [41].…”

“…They present higher prevalence of valgus knee in children with increased body mass. Studies from Germany [24], the USA [25] compared this issue on small groups but a large cohort study from Brazil [26] assessed the prevalence of knee valgus to be 27% in obese Brazilian children aged 5–13.…”

Background Lower extremity defects in healthy children raises interest of researchers as confirmed by numerous published original and review articles. The relationship between lower extremity postural defects and body mass are unclear as published data are inconclusive. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to analyse the prevalence of lower extremity defects in a large group of 8- to 12-year-old children; and further to assess the probability of defects associated with values of body mass variables. Methods The study included prospective anthropometric measurements data of 6992 children (3476 boys and 3516 girls) from Gdansk (Northern Poland). Standard screening test used in Poland for assessment of lower limb defects were used (intermalleolar or intercondylar distance for knee alignment, linear vertical compass for valgus heel, computer podoscope or classical footprint and measuring the Sztriter-Godunow index for flatfeet). Body mass was assessed with local centile charts and IOTF cutoffs. Prevalence of postural defects was compared with an aid of Pearson’s chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test. Probability of lower extremities postural defect was estimated on the basis of logistic regression analysis, and expressed as an odds ratio (OR) and its 95.0% CI. Results The study demonstrated that cumulative prevalence of lower extremity defects (31.5%) was lower than reported in most published studies, most common defects were valgus heel (21.8%) and valgus knee (14.5%). Boys were significantly more frequently diagnosed with lower limb defects overall ( p < 0.001), as well as with varus knee, valgus heel, flatfoot of any degree. Limb defects were found in 90,2% of obese children, 25,7% of normal weight and 15,1% of underweight children. Conclusions Prevalence of some lower extremities defects seems to be sex specific. Prevalence varied across body weight categories and was rising with the increase of BMI. Increased body mass is correlated with a higher risk of developing lower extremity postural defects in children.

“…RT can also be an alternative intervention method in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries affecting the knee [2]. Excessive misalignment of the patella is a very frequent type of lesion in the RT, especially in the squat exercise, which may be, among other factors, influenced by the valgus knee or dynamic varus [3,4].…”

Resistance training has been commonly used as a method of intervention in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries affecting the knee. Thus, the objective of this systematic review was to identify the methods employed with and without implements in leg press and squat exercises for the maintenance of knee alignment. The literature search was performed in the databases: PubMed, SciELO, and Lilacs. We used the descriptors "muscle strength" and "exercise" and their synonyms, available in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), with the terms "valgus knee" and "varus knee". From the 1,117 articles found, eight studies were considered for the review. The included studies had samples composed of young men and women with advanced levels of training. Despite verifying conditions of valgus or varus knee, the studies presented different protocols and assessment methods. The implements comprised physioball, elastic resistance, and wedge. Electromyography and kinematics were used to assess muscle activity and movement patterns. These results reinforced the possibility of using implements to induce muscle and joint actions to reduce varus and valgus conditions. We suggest more studies to define the best strategies to reduce the excessive deviation of the patella in people who have valgus or varus knee.

“…Na realização de exercícios de TF, o desalinhamento excessivo da patela é um tipo de lesão muito frequente, sobretudo no exercício agachamento, que pode ser entre outros fatores, influenciado pelo joelho valgo ou varo dinâmico 4 . Os principais motivos que podem acarretar estes desvios na articulação do joelho têm sido frequentemente associados a estabilização dinâmica do joelho, que é garantida pela musculatura que circunda a articulação 5 .…”

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a atividade mioelétrica (EMG), o tempo sob tensão (TST) e a projeção dos joelhos no exercício agachamento sem o uso de implementos (SI) e com o uso de physioball (PH) e banda elástica (BE) em diferentes intensidades de esforço. Dez homens realizaram o exercício nos três protocolos com a intensidade de 50 e 100% de 10 RM. A distância entre joelhos no protocolo controle (51,25cm) foi menor quando comparada com o SI 50% (84,38cm; p < 0,001), com o SI 100% (88,80cm; p < 0,001) e com BE 100% (67,41cm; p = 0,014). A distância entre os joelhos também foi menor para os protocolos PH 100% (53,10cm; p < 0,001) e BE 100% (67,41cm; p < 0,001) comparada ao SI 100% (88,80cm). O Vasto Medial Oblíquo (VMO) apresentou maior ativação nos protocolos SI 50% (p = 0,035) e PH 50% (p = 0,028) quando comparados ao protocolo BE 50%. A realização do agachamento com cargas submáximas parece aumentar e diminuir a ativação do VMO quando realizado com PH e BE, respectivamente.
