Gait biomechanics and hip muscular strength in patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis

Highlights ► Patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) demonstrated weaker hip abduction strength compared to healthy controls. ► PFOA patients demonstrated no difference in hip external rotation strength compared to controls. ► PFOA patients showed no differences in hip adduction/internal...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) demonstrated weaker hip abduction strength compared to healthy controls. ► PFOA patients demonstrated no difference in hip external rotation strength compared to controls. ► PFOA patients showed no differences in hip adduction/internal rotation or pelvic drop during gait compared to controls. ► Decrements in hip abduction strength are not necessarily accompanied by changes in gait in a PFOA population.
