The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between length of the iliotibial band (ITB) and the medio-lateral position patella. Eighty subjects (37 male, 43 female) were examined for patella position and ITB length. All subjects were...

Taping of the patella is a common treatment for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and has been shown to reduce pain. The reason for this affect is unknown; it has been proposed that taping alters patella orientation. Magnetic resonance imaging (...

The inter-tester reliability of a clinical measurement used to determine the medial/lateral orientation of the patella (2002)
Journal Article

An important aspect of the patellar taping technique, a common treatment for patellofemoral pain is the assessment of patellar position. The inter-tester reliability of the assessment method has been regarded as poor, as has the validity (Powers et a...

A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Hatcher, J., Hatcher, A., & Mcnicholas, M. A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 16, 149-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2008.10.004

ACL injury has been associated with a decrease in proprioceptive performance and specifically postural control. Tests of postural control have been criticised for not being sufficiently challenging. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) has been p... Read More about A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls.

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a commonly presenting disorder of the lower limb, frequently effecting young physically active individuals particularly females. The condition has been associated with poor control of limb alignment while unde...

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is prevalent in sportsmen and can end sporting careers. The Acromio-Humeral distance (AHD) is a measure taken with ultrasound (US) and used to quantify the space in which structures in the shoulder become impinged. This...
