Abstract

Patellofemoral pain has a poor long-term prognosis, which can be explained by a pain sensitization process. The pain sensitization process may be related to the increase of stress in the patellofemoral joint that is already associated with kinematic alterations and weakness in the musculature of the hip and knee. Were compared the pressure pain threshold, temporal summation, conditioned pain modulation, angular kinematics, and muscle strength between 26 patellofemoral pain and 24 asymptomatic women and then correlated pain sensitization variables with biomechanical variables in pain group. The pressure pain threshold was determined on seven points of the knee, tibialis anterior muscle, and elbow. Ten consecutive stimuli were performed for temporal summation, and cold water was used as the conditioning stimulus for conditioned pain modulation. The strength of hip and knee muscles was determined using a manual dynamometer. Three-dimensional kinematics were evaluated during the lateral step down, considering peak and excursion values of the movement and the Movement Deviation Profile. The pressure pain threshold of the elbow (2.13 [1.84-2.41] vs. 1.63 [1.25-2] kg/cm2), all sites of the knee were lower, as well as the Movement Devi...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
