Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effects of different sensory integration tasks on biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs during walking in female patients with patellofemoral pain(PFP),and exlpore the relationship between these characteristics and patellofemoral joint stress(PFJS),so as to provide a reference for the prevention of PFP recurrence.Methods A total of 36 female patients with PFP were recruited for the study,and kinematic and kinetic data were collected while the subjects were walking.The effects of baseline,tactile integration task,listening integration task and visual integration task on lower limb biomechanical characteristics was evaluated through the use of one-way ANOVA.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the above biomechanical characteristics and PFJS.Results Compared to the baseline,the step length(P=0.004)and cadence(P=0.001)of patients with PFP in the listening integration task were significantly reduced.Furthermore,both variables exhibited a negative correlation with PFJS(P<0.05).Both the hip internal rotation angle(P=0.001)and the ankle internal rotation angle(P=0.022)were significantly increased in tactile integration task.Furthermore,the aforementioned metrics were significantly and positively correlated with PFJS(P<0.05).The hip internal rotation angle(P=0.001),knee flexion angle(P=0.019),ankle inversion angle(P=0.003),and ankle plantarflexion angle(P=0.048)of patients with PFP in the visual integration task were increased.These biomechanical characteristics exhibited a positive correlation with PFJS(P<0.05).Conclusions The listening integration task decreases the step length and cadence of patients with PFP,and the tactile and visual integration tasks increase the hip and ankle internal rotation angles.On this basis,the visual integration task also increases the knee flexion angle and ankle plantarflexion angle during walking.Overall,the visual integration task has the greatest effect on gait biomechanics of female patients with PFP,and changes in these biomechanical characteristics are associated with elevated PFJS.
