Objective
Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) pathology is prevalent and associated with significant morbidity. Although protocols for PFJ radiograph acquisition exist, standardized methods to acquire radiographs of the PFJ have yet to be universally adopted, resulting in variances in patient positioning, weight-bearing status, knee flexion angle, and beam...
INTRODUCTION: Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) pathology is prevalent and associated with significant morbidity. Although protocols for PFJ radiograph acquisition exist, standardized methods to acquire radiographs of the PFJ have not been universally adopted, resulting in variances in patient positioning, weight-bearing status, knee flexion angle, and ra...
INTRODUCTION: Radiographic patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis (OA) affects 25% of the general population and is present in 39% of people with knee pain. Although radiographs are considered the gold standard in diagnosing PFOA, the majority of knee OA research has focused on the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ), resulting in a lack of development and univer...
BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) pathology is prevalent and associated with significant morbidity. Standardized methods of acquiring radiographs of the PFJ have yet to be adopted, resulting in variances in patient positioning, weight-bearing status, knee flexion angle, and beam direction, causing inconsistent joint assessment. We aimed to con...
The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is the most commonly affected compartment in knee osteoarthritis (OA), with estimates that radiographic patellofemoral OA (PFOA) occurs in 40% of the population. Radiographs are the most widely used imaging modality in OA evaluation and management, and the only modality accepted by the FDA for assessment of OA structu...
Objective
To determine the feasibility of a full‐scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing foot orthoses and footwear to footwear alone in individuals with patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods
This 4‐month, parallel, 2‐arm pilot trial took place in Brisbane, Queensland and Hobart, Tasmania (August 2014 to October 2016). Forty‐s...
INTRODUCTION: Radiographic patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) affects an estimated 40% of the population. Multiple methods are used to radiograph the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) and a consensus on grading radiographic features of PFOA is lacking. This review aimed to: 1) provide an overview of contemporary methods of radiographing the PFJ; and 2)...

INTRODUCTION: An estimated 40% of the population is afflicted with radiographic patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA). A consensus on techniques and methods used to acquire and grade radiographs of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is lacking. This review aimed to: 1) provide an overview of contemporary methods of radiographing the PFJ; and 2) describe...
PURPOSE: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is the most commonly affected compartment in knee osteoarthritis (OA), with estimates of isolated radiographic patellofemoral OA (PFOA) occurring in 40% of the population. Radiography is currently the most widely used imaging modality in OA evaluation and management, and the only modality accepted by the FDA...

INTRODUCTION: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is the most commonly affected compartment in knee osteoarthritis (OA), with estimates that radiographic patellofemoral OA (PFOA) occurs in 40% of the population. Various techniques are used to radiograph the PFJ and no consensus exists on grading radiographic features of PFOA. The objectives of this revi...
INTRODUCTION: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is the most commonly affected compartment in knee OA, and patellofemoral OA (PFOA) tends to affect a younger, more active population than tibiofemoral OA. Radiographs are currently the most widely used imaging modality in OA evaluation and management, and the only modality accepted by the FDA for assessm...
Background:
Patellofemoral OA is characterized by PF pain during activities that load a flexed knee. Stair stepping ability is frequently impaired, yet little is known of the muscular recruitment strategies utilized during this task. Altered recruitment strategies may provide targets for clinical interventions. We aimed to determine if people with...
Study design
Controlled laboratory study; cross-sectional design.
Background
Foot and ankle characteristics and dynamic knee valgus differ in people with and without patellofemoral (PF) pain. However, it is unknown if these characteristics are evident in people with PF osteoarthritis (OA), compared to pain-free older adults.
Objectives
To compare...
Background
Patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis is a common condition, yet information regarding conservative management is lacking. Foot orthoses are an effective intervention for improving pain and function in younger individuals with patellofemoral pain and may be effective in those with patellofemoral osteoarthritis. This pilot study will seek t...
Background:
Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) is more prevalent than previously thought and contributes to patient's suffering from knee OA. Synthesis of prevalence data can provide estimates of the burden of PF OA.
Objective:
This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of PF OA and structural damage ba...
The patellofemoral (PF) joint is the knee compartment most commonly affected by osteoarthritis (OA). Even mild PF OA is associated with considerable pain and functional limitations. Despite its prevalence and impact, little is understood of the etiology or structural and functional features of PF OA. The clinical symptoms of PF OA, such as anterior...
Background: The frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) is frequently used as a measure of dynamic knee valgus during functional tasks, such as the single leg squat. Increased dynamic knee valgus is observed in people with knee pathologies including patellofemoral pain and anterior cruciate injury. As the foot is the primary interface with the suppor...

The purpose of this study was to compare the neuromotor control of the Gluteus Medius (GMED) and Gluteus Maximus (GMAX) muscles in runners with Achilles tendinopathy to that of healthy controls.
Fourteen male runners with Achilles tendinopathy and nineteen healthy male runners (Control) ran over-ground whilst electromyography of GMED and GMAX was r...
Achilles tendinopathy is a common injury in running sports however the exact etiology of Achilles injury is still unclear. In recent years, altered neuromotor recruitment patterns of the triceps surae have been hypothesized to create differential intra-tendinous loads leading to pathology; however, this hypothesis has not been investigated. Further...
Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common injury in running sports. While the exact aetiology of Achilles injury is still unclear, foot orthoses are often effectively employed in the conservative management of the condition. Foot orthoses have traditionally been provided for people with AT on the basis that they may reduce the rearfoot eversion associ...
