Journal Article
Recurrent patellar dislocations in adolescents result in decreased knee flexion during the entire gait cycle
2020
Overview
Purpose
To evaluate the kinematics/kinetics of the ankle, knee, hip in the sagittal plane in adolescents with recurrent patellar dislocation in comparison to a healthy control.
Methods
Case–control study. Eighty-eight knees (67 patients) with recurrent patellar dislocation (mean age 14.8 years ± 2.8 SD) were compared to 54 healthy knees (27 individuals, 14.9 years ± 2.4 SD). Kinematics/kinetics of ankle, knee, hip, and pelvis were captured using 3D-gait analysis (VICON, 12 cameras, 200 Hz, Plug-in-Gait, two force plates). One cycle (100%) consisted of 51 data-points. The mean of six trials was computed.
Results
The loading-response increased by 0.02 s ± 0.01SE (10.8%) with dislocations (0.98% of total gait,
P
< 0.01). The mid-stance-phase decreased equally (
P
< 0.01). Dislocation decreased knee flexion during the entire gait cycle (
P
< 0.01), with the largest difference during mid-stance (9.0° ± 7.2 SD vs. 18.5° ± 6.7 SD). Dislocation increased plantar-flexion during loading response 4.1° ± 0.4 SE with (
P
< 0.01), afterward, the dorsal-extension decreased 3.2° ± 0.3 SE, (
P
< 0.01). Dislocation decreased hip flexion during all phases (
P
< 0.01). Maximal difference: 7.5° ± 0.5 SE during mid-stance. 80% of all patients developed this gait pattern.
Internal moments of the ankle increased, of the knee and hip decreased during the first part of stance.
Conclusion
Recurrent patellar dislocation decreases knee flexion during the loading-response and mid-stance phase. A decreased hip flexion and increased plantar-flexion, while adjusting internal moments, indicate a compensation mechanism.
