dc.description.abstractStudy design:This study is a prospective study.Aim:Lower extremity malalignment is an important etiologic factor in patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). We hypothesized that lower limb malalignment may affect dynamic balance and physical function. This prospective study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the lower limb alignment and the dynamic balance and physical function in patients with PFPS.Methods:The study included 62 individuals with unilateral PFPS. Pain severity was assessed by the numerical pain scale and the pain duration was recorded. Lower extremity bone alignment was evaluated by the lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) and the medial proximal tibia angle. Dynamic postural balance was assessed by the star excursion balance test. The functional status of the patients was evaluated by the 30-second chair stand test.Results:The mean duration of the pain was 24.2 +/- 31.5 months and the mean pain severity was 8.1 +/- 1.4. Although there was a significant difference found between the affected and unaffected LDFA values of lower extremities (p < 0.05), there was no difference found with regard to the dynamic balance values of the lower extremities (p > 0.05). However, significant changes of posterolateral balance were identified at a painful side without causing a postural dynamic imbalance (p < 0.05).Conclusion:In our study, we found a valgus deformity as a deterioration in the lower limb alignment of patients with PFPS which may cause a deterioration of posterolateral balance only. However, no change in postural dynamic balance was observed in the comparison of affected side and unaffected side. Dynamic postural balance has been influenced by many kinematic changes related to lower extremities including pelvis, hip, and ankle. Thus, reciprocal mechanisms in the anatomical structures may compensate the postural balance dynamically.
