Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Proximal, Local, and Distal Muscle Morphology in Women With Patellofemoral Pain,” you will be able to:
Describe patellofemoral pain (PFP)
Compare proximal, local, and distal muscle morphology in women with and without PFP
Understand the implications that this research study could have regarding future treatment of PFP
What common clinical finding is associated with PFP? Muscle contraction Muscle hypertrophy Muscle strength Muscle weakness
Which anatomic structure is considered a local factor for patients with PFP? Hip Trunk Ankle Knee
What was the minimum level of knee pain on a numeric rating scale for participants in this study? 0 3 6 9
What is the name of the test in which the patella is manually compressed against the trochlea, while the patient contracts the quadriceps? Patellar grind test Homan’s sign test Dorsiflexion sign test Impingement sign test
Hip posterolateral muscle mass was obtained using the sum of muscle thickness of which muscles in this study? RF and VM VL and GMAX GM and GMAX VM and GM
In this study, ICC values of 0.70–0.89 are classified as indicating: No reliability Poor reliability Moderate reliability High reliability
What percentage of control group participants had a right-sided assessment? 25% 55% 75% 95%
