Figure 5.
Patellofemoral (PF) joint kinematics measured from real-time MRI in a group of 13 pain-free female control subjects and 23 females with patellofemoral pain (PFP). The solid and dashed lines represent the means of each subject group and the shaded regions ± 1 SD. (A) Relationship between bisect offset and knee flexion angle. The subjects with pain exhibited larger bisect offset for knee flexion angles ≤50°. (B) Relationship between patellar tilt angle and knee flexion angle. Pain subjects exhibited larger tilt for knee flexion angles <20°.
