اثر یک بند پاتلا در موقعیت مفصل زانو علامتدار در ورزشکاران با گرگرفتگی پاتلا

The use of a patellar strap improves the knee joint proprioception – measured with joint position sense – of the symptomatic leg in athletes with poor proprioceptive acuity. Especially athletes with relatively small knee girth, short duration of symptoms and small tendon abnormalities might benefit from the strap. As proprioception plays an important role in motor control, and deficits in proprioception may put an athlete at risk for (re-)injury, these findings may be relevant for prevention as well as rehabilitation purposes in those PT athletes with low proprioceptive acuity.
