Quantification of patella position by ultrasound scanning and its criterion validity (2006)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., McEwan, I., & Thom, J. (2006). Quantification of patella position by ultrasound scanning and its criterion validity. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2006.07.012

Altered position of the patella has been associated with patellofemoral joint pain. The main techniques used for assessment of position are either expensive or invasive; there are limited reports of the use of ultrasound (US) scanning to assess patel...
