Journal ArticleDOI
What proportion of people with hip and knee osteoarthritis meet physical activity guidelines? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A small to moderate proportion of people with knee and hip osteoarthritis met physical activity guidelines and recommended daily steps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematic gait characteristics associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome: A systematic review
TL;DR: There is a clear need for prospective evaluation of kinematic gait characteristics in a PFPS population to distinguish between cause and effect, and future PFPS case-control studies should consider evaluating kinematics of the knee, hip and foot/ankle simultaneously with larger participant numbers.
Journal Article
An evaluation of the rearfoot posture in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Pazit Levinger,Wendy L Gilleard +1 more
TL;DR: Rearfoot posture of PFPS subjects showed a small varus position of Subtalar Joint Neutral and a rearfoot valgus in relaxed standing posture, which may contribute to the increased eversion during relaxed standing in the PFPS group.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of foot kinematics in people with normal- and flat-arched feet using the Oxford Foot Model
Pazit Levinger,George S. Murley,Christian J Barton,Matthew P Cotchett,Simone R. McSweeney,Hylton B. Menz +5 more
TL;DR: Findings support the notion that flat-arched feet have altered motion associated with greater pronation during gait; factors that may increase the risk of overuse injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foot and Ankle Characteristics in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Case Control and Reliability Study
TL;DR: The foot posture index, normalized navicular drop, and calcaneal angle relative to subtalar joint neutral are all reliable and sensitive to group differences when used in a population with PFPS.
