    A lot of work has been done recently on proximal control issues on PFPS ... it not all about foot orthoses and distal control issues.

    I don't think this anything any of us didn't already know. Cibulka has a long history of looking at asymmetrical hip ROM and its effects on LBP and SI jt dysfunction and has quite extensively covered the topic. Only this time he looked at a case of PFD, with what he reports as an unusual pattern of restricted medial(internal) movement. No big deal. Take home message, hip ROM can influence knee symptoms. Not rocket science.

    Well the tissue stress folks would say that you are looking at position and not moment or force. I have not been really happy with the pronation/ internal rotation theory of patella femoral pain. Transverse plane torque would be a key variable to look at. The idea is that the tibia is internally rotated relative to the femur. A difficult measure and still not torqure. For, me the jury is still out.

    Re: Here is a different take on this:

    "Tibial transverse rotation was not shown to be different in PFPS subjects. However, there was prolonged rearfoot eversion during the stance phase of walking. The earlier appearance of rearfoot dorsiflexion as well as the lower GRFs indicate altered propulsive function of the foot during supination. "

    Now this is something that makes perfect sense to me. It encompasses the paper that Craig P. listed and it's findings and includes some references to the timing of eversion during stance phase.

    It is amazing to me that anyone would still think that the amount of measured in- or eversion of the heel, or internal rotation of the tibia would really matter. No matter the patient, they will usually fully pronate as much as their joints will allow. It is not a matter of what position they get to, but how long they stay in that position that really matters. This paper seems to verify that issue, to me at least.

    I do not find it surprising that there would be a limitation of hip ROM either as this is often a compensation brought on by a stoppage of foot motion or rotation as recorded.

    Call it a chicken / egg scenario if you like, but if you do not control for the pathologic foot function, your outcomes will rarely hold just by focusing on the hip musculature alone. IMHO!

    Bruce,

    You're too young:p to remember how the PT's and Orthopedic surgeons would recommend quad strengthening exercises for "chondromalacia patella". These also worked temporarily at best. :wacko:

    The key is finding and treating the cause, not one of several results. :cool:

    Regards,

    Stanley;

    You think I am younger than I actually am! I rember those exercises from school and I think it is still in the some of the most current texts, though I could be mistaken.
