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...

The relationship between patella position and length of the iliotibial band as assessed using Ober's test (2006)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Rivett, N., & Munro, S. (2006). The relationship between patella position and length of the iliotibial band as assessed using Ober's test. Manual Therapy, 11(3), 182-186. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.math.2006.06.008

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...

The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI (2006)
Journal Article
Herrington, L. (2006). The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI. Research in Sports Medicine, 14, 215-223. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620600854785

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 (...
