Hip functions influence on knee dysfunction: a proximal link to a distal problem.
TLDR
The purpose of this commentary is to describe the multifactorial relationships between hip-joint strength, range of motion, kinetics/kinematics, and various knee pathologies, specifically as they relate across an individual's life span.Abstract:
The purpose of this commentary is to describe the multifactorial relationships between hip-joint strength, range of motion, kinetics/kinematics, and various knee pathologies, specifically as they relate across an individual's life span. Understanding the interdependence between the hip and knee joints in respect to functional activity is a necessary and relevant aspect for clinicians to investigate to ameliorate various pathological presentations at the knee that might have a proximal relationship.read more

The Influence of Abnormal Hip Mechanics on Knee Injury: A Biomechanical Perspective
TL;DR: It can be argued that interventions which address proximal impairments may be beneficial for patients who present with various knee conditions and a biomechanical argument can be made for the incorporation of pelvis and trunk stability, as well as dynamic hip joint control, into the design of knee rehabilitation programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A literature review of studies evaluating gluteus maximus and gluteus medius activation during rehabilitation exercises
TL;DR: Electromyography provides a useful means to determine muscle activation levels during specific exercises and the interpretation of such data and how it can be best used in exercise prescription when formulating a treatment plan is of utmost importance to practicing clinicians.

Patellofemoral pain: proximal, distal, and local factors, 2nd International Research Retreat.
Christopher M. Powers,Lori A. Bolgla,Michael J. Callaghan,Natalie J. Collins,Frances T. Sheehan +4 more
TL;DR: The second International Patellofemoral Pain Research Retreat as mentioned in this paper brought together scientists and clinicians from around the world who are conducting research aimed at understanding the factors that contribute to the development and, consequently, the treatment of PFP.

Can two-dimensional video analysis during single-leg drop vertical jumps help identify non-contact knee injury risk? A one-year prospective study.
Bart Dingenen,Bart Malfait,Stefaan Nijs,Koen Peers,Styn Vereecken,Sabine Verschueren,Filip Staes +6 more
TL;DR: The measurement of a combination of increased knee valgus and ipsilateral trunk motion during the single-leg drop vertical jump with two-dimensional video analysis can be used to help identify female athletes with increased non-contact knee injury risk.

Biomechanical Measures of Neuromuscular Control and Valgus Loading of the Knee Predict Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Athletes A Prospective Study
Timothy E. Hewett,Timothy E. Hewett,Gregory D. Myer,Kevin R. Ford,Robert S. Heidt,Angelo J. Colosimo,Scott G. McLean,Antonie J. van den Bogert,Mark V. Paterno,Paul Succop +9 more
TL;DR: Knee motion and knee loading during a landing task are predictors of anterior cruciate ligament injury risk in female athletes and may help develop simpler measures of neuromuscular control that can be used to direct female athletes to more effective, targeted interventions.

Plyometric Training in Female Athletes Decreased Impact Forces and Increased Hamstring Torques
TL;DR: This program was designed to decrease landing forces by teaching neuromuscular control of the lower limb dur ing landing and to increase vertical jump height and may have a significant effect on knee stabilization and prevention of serious knee injury among female athletes.

Core stability measures as risk factors for lower extremity injury in athletes.
Darin Tracy Leetun,Mary Lloyd Ireland,John D. Willson,Bryon T. Ballantyne,Irene McClay Davis +4 more
TL;DR: Core stability has an important role in injury prevention and future study may reveal that differences in postural stability partially explain the gender bias among female athletes.

The Influence of Altered Lower-Extremity Kinematics on Patellofemoral Joint Dysfunction: A Theoretical Perspective
TL;DR: A biomechanical overview of how altered lower-extremity mechanics may influence the patellofemoral joint is provided by addressing these factors, better long-term treatment success and prevention may be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hip Strength in Females With and Without Patellofemoral Pain
TL;DR: The results indicate that young women with patellofemoral pain are more likely to demonstrate weakness in hip abduction as well as external rotation than age-matched women who are not symptomatic.
