Methods and Measures: One group of 25 men and women between 19 and 44 years of age with unilateral long lasting PFPS, and a control group (n = 23) of healthy subjects (age range, 18-44 years) participated in the study. Knee function was assessed with the use of the Cincinnati Knee Rating System (CKRS) and the triple jump test, and knee pain was measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS). Self-perceived health and mental distress were assessed with the Coop-Wonca Chart and the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) questionnaire. Results: The mean ( +/- SD) score on the Coop-Wonca Chart was 2.02 +/- 0.73 in the PFPS group, compared to 1.20 +/- 0.53 in the controls (P < .001). HSCL-25 mean ( +/- SD) scores were 1.46 +/- 0.47 and 1.08 +/- 0.18 Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
