Volume and mobility of the infrapatellar fat pad during quasi-static knee extension after manual therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized control trial study

Abstract: This study aimed to determine whether the volume and mobility of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) change as a result of manual release or stretching during quasi-static knee extension in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). [Participants and Methods] Fourteen patients with KOA were allocated to one of two groups: the manual release (R) and stretching (S, control) groups. They all underwent 12 treatment sessions in in a space of four weeks. We created 3D models of the IPFP, tibia, patella, and patellar tend… Show more

“…With knee extension, the IFP is becomes captured between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau [ 7 ], leading to injury, hypertrophy, and inflammation [ 8 ]. With the overload or trauma to the IFP or secondary to other knee disorders (e.g., meniscus injury [ 9 ], osteoarthritis [ 10 ], knee surgery [ 9 ], etc.) can cause inflammation, fatty tissue proliferation, and fibrosis, resulting in loss of flexibility, mobility impairment, and pain (i.e., Hoffa’s disease) [ 2 , 9 , 11 ].…”
