Influence of the treatment of the Kinesio-taping® technique on pain and functionality in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

A Síndrome da disfunção Femoropatelar (SDFP) é definida como uma dor anterior ou retro patelar na ausência de outra comorbidade do joelho. É uma patologia com alta incidência, afetando 20% da população em geral. A técnica de Knesio-Taping® (KT), também conhecida como bandagem elástica é um método que se tornou popular nos últimos 10 anos e, desde então tem sido utilizado como proposta terapêutica tanto na prevenção, como atuando diretamente nos sintomas de lesões esportivas e naquelas que acometem o joelho. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da técnica Kinesio-Taping® na sintomatologia e funcionalidade de indivíduos com síndrome de Disfunção Femoropatelar (SDFP). A população envolvida neste estudo foi de 32 indivíduos do sexo feminino, diagnosticados clinicamente com a referida síndrome, as quais foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos, o primeiro grupo recebeu o tratamento com Kinesio-Taping® e fisioterapia convencional e o outro grupo recebeu tratamento fisioterapêutico convencional. Ambos os grupos foram submetidos ao HOPTEST, escala de EVA e o questionário Lysholm antes e depois da intervenção, a qual foi realizada por 1 mês. Verificou-se que a Kinesio-Taping® teve uma melhora significativa na EVA ao concluir o ensaio (p=0,012), no entanto, para a funcionalidade e o equilíbrio, na comparação entre os grupos controle e experimental, não foi verificada diferença significativos. Diante do exposto conclui-se que a técnica Kinesio-Taping(KT) associada ao tratamento fisioterapêutico convencional proporciona maior conforto álgico aos pacientes com SDFP.

Correlation between anterior knee pain with changes in bone morphology of the hip

The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common disorders of the knee, and there is still unclear etiology. The aim of this study was to correlate patellofemoral pain syndrome with the bone morphology of hip. For this, this study evaluated 31 studied volunteers with aged between 18 and 30 years, which analyzed the distance of anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS), asymmetry of the pelvis, lower limb length (LL), distance from the ASIS bilaterally of the patella, lateral tilt and iliac inclination, this by computerized biophotogrammetry. After collecting the data and consequent tabulation, it was found that were no changes in the data collected except in the lateral tilt, so the volunteers who had anterior knee pain also had lateral pelvic tilt. That said, we can infer that there is little relationship between the morphological changes of the hip with the PFPS, whereas found only one was in lateral pelvic tilt voluntary group who complained of pain above the knee.

Correlation between anterior knee pain with flexibility muscles hip

Introduction: the syndrome Femoropatellar pain (PFPS) is one of the most common disorders of the knee and has as one of its main functions human locomotion, while the hip is the largest spherical fit joint of the human body. Objective: the aim of this study is to know the correlation of knee pain prior to the flexibility and range of motion (ROM) of the hip in college women. Method: for this was made a descriptive cross-sectional study with a population composed of 40 academic, divided into two equal-sized groups, one composed of voluntary with PFPS and the other without the syndrome. The voluntary were aged between 18 and 30 years. To evaluate the flexibility we used a fleximeter and ADM universal goniometer. Results: After statistical analysis, it was found that ADM hip abduction appeared was reduced, probably due to the retraction of the adductor muscles of the hip in the PFPS group, or even the loss of muscle strength own abductors. With regard to flexibility, it was found the retraction of the flexor muscles of the hip, a significant difference comparing the group with pain and the group without previous knee pain. Conclusion: it can be concluded that there are muscle changes for flexibility and ADM, the flexors and abductors of the hip groups respectively, in subjects with presence of patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Association between patellofemoral pain syndrome and hip morphology.

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common conditions in the knee joint, there still unclear etiology. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association of PFPS with the morphology of the hip. Method/Design: For this study were evaluated 41 university students aged between 18 and 30 years divided into group with PFPS and control group, in which we analyzed the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), length of the lower limbs (LL) away from the patella ASIS bilaterally, lateral bending and iliac slope. Results: After data collection and subsequent tabulation, it was found that the group with PFPS showed contralateral iliac increase the pain (p = 0.01), moreover, was also found to the side of prevalence of pain is the side not dominant (p = 0.00). Conclusions: It can be inferred that there is little relationship between the morphological changes of the hip with the PFPS, as only found a side tilt of the pelvis in volunteer group that reported a previous knee pain.
