RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIP MUSCLE STRENGTH AND THREE DIMENSIONAL KINEMATICS IN SUBJECTS WITH AND WITHOUT PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

Master Abstract

CHAPTER VI SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY This attempt was made to study the relationship between the hip muscles strength and hip kinematics in subjects with and without PFPS with the hypothesis that the patients with PFPS would demonstrate lower hip abductors torque than the normal subjects and increased hip adduction and POA in patients with PFPS than the normal subjects. Therefore, twenty males were recruited to this study; 10 for the PFPS group and 10 for the control group. They were selected from the outpatient clinic of the Faculty of Physical Therapy. Their ages ranged from 18-40 years old with mean age (22 years) for the PFPS group and (22.4 years) for the control group. Both groups underwent hip abductors strength measurement using HHD then they underwent hip kinematic analysis for measuring hip adduction and pelvic obliquity angles during stance phase of stair descent. The data obtained in the present investigation indicated that, there were no statistical significant differences between the PFPS and the control groups regarding to hip abductors torque, hip adduction angle, and pelvic obliquity angle. Also there were weak relationship between hip abductors torque and both hip adduction and pelvic obliquity angles. CONCLUSION Both PFPS and control groups demonstrated similar hip abductors torque, hip adduction angle, and pelvic obliquity angle (POA). Also, there was weak correlation between hip abductors torque and both hip adduction and pelvic obliquity angles. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. This study measured hip abductors and hip kinematics during stair descent. This task was considered low activity demand so,it is recommended that hip kinematics will be measured during progressively greater task demands such that running, jumping, squatting,….etc. 2. It is recommended to measure the strength of the reminder hip groups of muscles. 3. Further researchers are needed to measure hip muscles activities –mainly gluteus medius- using electromyography (EMG) with hip kinematics simultaneously and applied for a larger sample size. 4. Further researches are needed to study the effect of adding hip muscles strengthening exersices on the pain and functional performance in patients with PFPS.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN X-RAY FINDINGS OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS AND FOOT POSTURE

PHD Abstract

Summary The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationships between the foot posture measures (FPI and AI) and the radiographic knee measures (FTA and KL grades) within the patients with MKOA. Additionally, to compare foot posture variables (FPI and AI) between patients with MKOA and asymptomatic matched control subjects. Thirty patients with MKOA (4 males and 26 females) were assigned as group (A) with mean age (46.43±3.79) years, mean body mass (79.36±5.36) kilograms (Kg), mean height (1.55±0.04) meters (m), and body mass index (BMI) (32.6±1.76) kilograms/meter square (Kg/m2); and another 30 asymptomatic subjects matched to sex and age (4 males and 26 females) assigned as group (B) with mean age (46.7±4.28) years, mean body mass (78.66±7.05) (Kg), mean height (1.55±0.06) (m) and body mass index (32.64± 2.37) (Kg/m2) were participated in the study. Each subject in both groups underwent foot posture assessment using FPI and AI, while subjects in group (A) underwent radiographic knee assessment for the osteoarthritic knee to measure the knee varus using FTA and to categorize the severity of OA using KL grading system. The relationship between foot posture variables (FPI and AI) and the FTA within group (A) was obtained by Pearson correlation coefficient which demonstrated a significant positive correlation between FTA and FPI (r = 0.457, p = 0.01); and demonstrated no correlation between FTA and AI (r = 0.3, p = 0.1). Additionally, the relationship between foot posture measures (FPI and AI) and KL grades was obtained by Spearman correlation coefficient which demonstrated no correlation between KL grades nor FPI or AI (p > 0.05). Comparison of foot posture variables (FPI and AI) between group (A) and group (B) was obtained by unpaired t-test which revealed significant increase in FPI (mean ± standard deviation, 6.6 ± 1.6) for group (A) versus (2.03 ± 1.5) for group (B). Also, unpaired t-test revealed significant increase in AI (mean ± standard deviation, 0.26 ± 0.05) for group (A) versus (0.22 ± 0.03) for group (B).
