Current methods for the assessment
of the outcome after anterior knee pain or lateral patellar instability
treatment have several limitations, for example their subjectivity. Therefore,
new technologies are needed to objectively evaluate the outcomes of treatments
for patellofemoral disorders.
Kinematic and kinetic analyses during dynamic
activities under realistic loading conditions that trigger or aggravate the
symptoms can: evaluate the patellofemoral patient in an objective way before
surgery; analyse the defense mechanisms the patient develops in order to reduce pain and/or instability; improve our knowledge of the aetiopathogeny and
therefore of a suitable treatment for patellofemoral disorders; and objectively
evaluate the result of the treatment. However, the kinetic and kinematic
analyses are not diagnostic tools.
