Comparisons of Mechanical Properties of Tendon Structures

NCT00451087 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2008-01-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We assume the etiology of patellofemoral pain syndrome is related to mechanical properties of tendon structures of the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis. Consequently, we will measure the electromechanical delay and some viscoelastic parameters of the two muscles. Besides, we will also investigate the effects of exercise training to the mechanical properties of the muscles.
