Document Summary
Activities of daily living for the knee: sit to stand (chair/bed/etc. , quiet standing, walking, stairs, turning, kneeling, bending. Patellar conditions: pfs (or pfps) (patellofemoral (pain) syndrome, no trauma most of the time, chronic, what increases pfj loading, compression and/or shearing (up and down movement, no balanced pressure across posterior surface (more hot spots) Increasing joint tolerance: what tissues are we dealing with, subchondral bone. It band: hamstrings, limited knee extension, extension causes patella to loosen. Increased friction: rectus femoris, press patella against femur, gastroc, if tight, knee tends to take over, abnormal patellar tracking, lateral translation (away from centre, more pressure on condyles and patella, muscular imbalance. Of interest (tendinopathy: platelet rich plasma (prp, evidence to show that tendons of the wrist extensors and shoulder can benefit from platelet injection in healing, platelets contain growth factors repair tissue. Improvement at 3 months, faded by 6 months: take out blood, centrifuge to concentrate platelet in injection, short lived.
