PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship among hip adduction angle, tibial rotation, and ITB length during an Ober test to determine the most appropriate position for performing the test. METHODS: The study included thirty-nine asymptomatic participants (23 males, 16 females). Their hip adduction angles were measured using the Ober test during three tibial rotation conditions (internal tibial rotation, external rotation, and neutral position). ITB length was calculated by measuring the position of the patella to lateral femoral condyle using ultrasonography (patella-condyle distance; PCD). RESULTS: The relationship among hip adduction angle, tibial rotation, and ITB length was analyzed under the three conditions using the Pearson correlation. The hip adduction angle of the internal tibial rotation, the external rotation, and the neutral position were significantly related to ITB length. Moreover, the hip adduction angle measured during the internal tibial rotation had the highest correlation with ITB length among the three conditions (r=.58, p<.001). CONCLUSION: Internal tibial rotation caused by the Ober test led to increased iliotibial band (ITB) tension and a decreased adduction angle. These findings support that tibial rotation influences the flexibility of ITB. Therefore, therapists should consider the position of the internal tibial rotation when taking measurements using an Ober test.

The purpose of this study was to assess the intra-rater test-retest reliability of tibial external rotation angle measurement using a smartphone-based photographic goniometer, DrGoniometer (DrG) compared to a three-dimensional motion analysis system (Vicon). The current study showed an interchangeable method using DrG to measure the tibial external rotation angle in standing knee flexion at $90^{\circ}$. Twelve healthy subjects participated in this study. A rest session was conducted 30 minutes later for within-day reliability and five days later for between-day intra-rater test-retest reliability. To assess the validity of the measurement using DrG, we used a three dimensional motion analysis system as a gold standard to measure the angle of tibial external rotation. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the standard error of measurement (SEM) values were used to determine the within- and between- day intra-rater test-retest reliability of using DrG and a three dimensional motion analysis system. To assess validity, Pearson correlation coefficients were used for two measurement techniques. The measurement for tibial external rotation had high intra-rater test-retest reliability of within-day (ICC=.88) and between-day (ICC=.83) reliability using DrG and of within-day (ICC=.93) and between-day (ICC=.77) reliability using a three-dimentional motion analysis system. Tibial external rotation angle measurement using DrG was highly correlated with those of the three-dimensional motion analysis system (r=.86). These results represented that the tibial external rotation angle measurement using DrG showed acceptable reliability and validity compared with the use of three-dimensional motion analysis system.

Background: The tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance is used to determine the necessity of tibial tubercle osteotomy. We conducted this study to determine the extent to which each of the tibial tuberosity lateralization, trochlear groove medialization, and knee rotation angle affects the TT-TG distance in both normal and patella dislocated patients and thereby scrutinize the rationale for tuberosity transfer based on the TT-TG distance. Methods: Retrospective analysis of rotational profile computed tomography was done for patella dislocated and control group patients. Femoral anteversion, tibial torsion, knee rotation angle, tuberosity lateralization, and trochlear groove medialization were assessed in all patients. Relationship of these parameters with the TT-TG distance was investigated to evaluate their effects on the TT-TG distance. Results: We observed that the patellar dislocation group, compared to the control group, had increased TT-TG distance (mean, 19.05 mm vs. 9.02 mm) and greater tuberosity lateralization (mean, 64.1% vs. 60.7%) and tibial external rotation in relation to the femur (mean, $7.9^{\circ}$ vs. $-0.81^{\circ}$). Conclusions: Tuberosity lateralization and knee rotation were factors affecting patellar dislocation. These factors should be considered in addition to the TT-TG distance to determine the need for tibial tubercle osteotomy in patients with patellar dislocation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine EMG activities and VMO/VL ratio of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris during squat exercise (knee angle: 15, 45, and 60 degrees; tibial rotation: internal rotation, neutral, and external rotation). Methods: Twelve subjects performed squat exercise at each knee angle and tibial rotation while electromyographic (EMG) activity was collected. Statistical analysis consisted of two-way repeated measures analysis of variance with post hoc analysis. Results: There were significant main effects of knee angles and foot positions and interaction effect on EMG activities of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis. VMO/VL ratios were significantly different by tibial rotations and there was an interaction effect. A neutral position produced significantly more VMO/VL activity ratio than that from internally rotated position and externally rotated position at 60 degrees. Conclusion: Considering the interaction effects for EMG activity across quadriceps muscles tested, the 60 degrees knee angle with a neutral foot position may provide the most effective condition for patients with acute patellofemoral syndrome.

The measure Q-Angle(patellofemorial) indicates the group of the genu varum 9 1.5, the genu valgum 19 2.3, that was larger or smaller than normal angle 13. 2. It showed that range of motion hip joint adduction in the group of the genu varum was more larger than normal range of motion hip joint abduction in the group of the genu valgum was more larger than normal range of motion, hip joint internal rotation in the group of the genu valgum was more larger than normal range of motion, hip joint external rotation in the group of the genu varum was more larger than normal range of motion. 3. range of motion knee joint flexion was simillar to two groups of the genu varum and the genu valgum. On tibial tortion of the leg, the group of the genu varum indicated medial tibial tortion, and the genu valgum indicated lateral tibial tortion. 4.

목적: 슬개골 탈구는 다양한 원인을 가지고 있다. 슬개골 주위 연부조직 균형을 일차 목표로 한 치료 결과를 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 28명의 환자(여자 21명, 남자 7명)에서 발생한 32예의 슬개골 탈구를 대상으로 하였다. 환자군의 평균 연령은 11.5세였으며 수술 후 평균 4.6년을 추시하였다. 탈구의 종류는 만성 19예, 습관성 6예, 선천성 6예, 급성이 1예였다. 연부조직 균형 수술은 관절 외측 유리술, 내측 주름술, 내측 대퇴광근의 외측하부 이전술을 기본으로 하였고, 슬개건 전체 혹은 슬개건과 대퇴직건의 내측 일부의 내측 이동술, 원위 대퇴 교정 절골술 등을 선별적으로 시행하였다. 수술 전 Q각과, 대퇴 전염각, 경골 외회전각, TT-TG 거리(tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance), 기계적 대퇴-경골각, Dejour 분류에 따른 대퇴 과간 절흔 이형성 등을 측정하였고 수술 전후 Lysholm-Tegner 점수를 이용하여 임상 결과를 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 전 평균 Q각은 9.3°±5.8°, TT-TG 거리는 15.5±6.2 mm, 대퇴 전염각은 25.6°±12.3°, 경골 외회전각은 30.4°±9.6°, 기계적 대퇴-경골각은 3.0°±6.4°, Lysholm-Tegner 점수는 75.8±9.6점이었다. Beighton score 5점 이상의 전신인대 이완성을 보인 환아는 11명이었다. 대퇴 과간 절흔의 이형성을 가진 환자는 22명이었고, Dejour 등의 분류에 따라 A형이 3명(4예), B형이 15명(16예), C형이 1명(1예), D형이 3명(4예)였다. 32예 중 28예에서 1차 수술로 정복을 얻었고, 아탈구를 보인 4예 중 3예에서 2차 수술, 그 중 1예에서 3차 수술 이후 정복을 얻었고, 1예는 경과 관찰 중이다. Lysholm-Tegner 점수는 수술 후 최종 85.6±11.6점으로 향상되었다. 결론: 슬개골 탈구의 다양한 원인을 동시에 모두 교정하기는 어렵다. 연부조직 균형 수술과 함께 대퇴골-경골 기계적 축과 염전 이상 교정 절골술 등 적절한 술식을 조합해야 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

체중부하 상태에서의 족관절 검사 시 양측 족관절을 동시 촬영 했을 때와 편측 족관절을 나누어 각각 촬영 했을 때, 족관절염의 평가에 해당되는 측정값들의 변화에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 양측을 동시촬영 할 때, 다리를 모아 촬영하게 됨으로 Tibia axis축이 기울게 되고, 족관절의 external rotation으로 인해 족관절의 각도와 joint space의 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 양측 족관절 동시촬영과 편측 족관절을 나누어 촬영한 영상을 PACS system 이용하여 족관절 평가에 이용되는 TAS, TT, TMM, JSW, Tibiotalar joint, Fibulotalar joint의 측정값을 구한 후 통계 분석 하였다. 각도 측정에 있어, 체중부하 양측 족관절 동시 촬영한 검사의 오른쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM 측정값은 $87.24^{\circ}$, $6.44^{\circ}$, $26.67^{\circ}$ 이였으며 편측을 나누어 촬영한 오른쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM은 $88.93^{\circ}$, $2.41^{\circ}$, $19.77^{\circ}$ 였다. 양측 족관절 동시촬영의 왼쪽 족관절 TAS, TT, TMM의 측정값은 $87.25^{\circ}$, $5.71^{\circ}$, $23.92^{\circ}$ 였으며 편측을 나누어 촬영한 왼쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM은 $88.75^{\circ}$, $3.19^{\circ}$, $21.45^{\circ}$ 였다. 양측 족관절을 동시촬영한 검사와 편측을 나누어 촬영한 족관절과의 비교 시, 양측을 동시 촬영한 검사에서 족관절 평가의 중증도 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 자세로 인한 측정값의 왜곡을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 너비 측정에서 JSW, Tibiotalar joint는 검사 자세로 인한 측정값들 간의 유의성은 없었지만, Fibulotalar joint 의 양측 족관절 동시 검사에서 오른쪽 0.98mm 왼쪽 1.22mm 로 나타났고, 한쪽씩 촬영한 오른쪽 족관절에서는 1.6mm 왼쪽 1.22mm로 측정 자세로 인한 측정값의 유의한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 족관절염 평가를 위한 체중부하 족관절 검사시 양측을 동시에 검사하기 보다는 각각의 족관절을 나누어 촬영하는 것이 족관절염 평가값에 왜곡을 최소화 하며, 측정값의 정확성을 높일 수 있다.
