| Abstract | Objectives: Investigate prospectively whether dynamic balance and frontal plane knee projection angle
(FPKPA) are risk factors for the development of patellofemoral pain (PFP) in male military recruits.
Study design: Prospective cohort.
Setting: Military training center.
Participants: 135 male military recruits were followed prospectively for six weeks and the incidence of
PFP was documented.
Main outcomes: Baseline measures of the Y-Balance test (YBT) and two-dimensional FPKPA during
single-leg squatting were recorded. ManneWhitney U tests and logistic regression analysis were utilized
to identify possible variables associated with the development of PFP.
Results: A total of 14 male recruits developed PFP during the follow up period. The PFP group had
significantly greater asymmetry on the YBT posterolateral direction (mean difference ¼ 3.44 ± 0.57 cm;
95% Confidence Interval [CI] ¼ 2.38e4.51 cm) and greater FPKPA during single-leg squat (mean
difference ¼ 5.55±1.78; [CI] ¼ 1.81e9.28) at baseline when compared to controls. Binary logistic
regression models revealed that YBT posterolateral asymmetry 4.08 cm (Nagelkerke R2 ¼ 0.304;
X2 ¼ 21.63; p < 0.001; OR ¼ 5.46; [CI] ¼ 4.47e8.06) and FPKPA 4.81 (Nagelkerke R2 ¼ 0.249;
X2 ¼ 17.46; p < 0.001; OR ¼ 4.65; [CI] ¼ 3.32e9.06) were significantly associated with PFP.
Conclusions: Male military recruits with greater asymmetry on the YBT posterolateral direction and
FPKPA were at a greater risk of developing PFP. | pt_BR |
