Item Dor femoropatelar: desequilíbrio e sobrecarga(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Albuquerque, Carlos Eduardo de; Nunez, Silvia CristinaPatellofemoral pain (PFP) is a multifactorial pathology difficulty to diagnose. Predominant in women at productive phase, PFP reduces physical performance, affects quality of life and psychosocial health of individuals with this condition. PFP has an insidious onset and remains delicately disturbing at all times in the individual. This paper aims to identify factors associated with PFP in women; and demonstrate the action of overload on the control of knee joint movement in the presence of PFD. To develop the proposal of this study are presented 3 articles and 1 mobile application. The articles discuss the lateral stabilization of the patella, performed by the iliotibial tract and the change in muscle activity caused by overload. The iliotibial tract is more than 60% thickened in the PFD group. Mechanical overload on the knee joint with PFD changed the relationship of muscular balance in the frontal plane of movement (between the vastus lateralis and medialis muscles) with increased activation of the vastus lateralis muscle. The mobile aplication to aid on PFP diagnosis provided an overview of the biopsychosocial status of the individual assessed according to function, quality of life, kinesiophobia and physical activity index questionnaire. PFP presents itself as a complex condition, compromising several systems and with poor diagnosis. This work contributed to the construction of tools to assist the diagnosis of PFP.
