Related Data for: Two-dimensional kinematics differences between sexes in runners with and without patellofemoral pain

This study aimed to identify the kinematics of healthy and injured recreational runners with PFP in both sexes. High-speed videos of treadmill running gait in 56 subjects (14 in each injured and non-injured male and female group) were analysed using the Kinovea software.

Three kinematic variables associated with PFP were extracted at midstance: knee midstance position, knee flexion angle, and hip adduction angle. Compared with healthy controls, injured females ran with knees more medially positioned (Left p = 0.008, Right p < 0.001), while injured males ran with less knee flexion (Left p = 0.006, Right p = 0.007). These findings suggest that kinematic risk factors associated with PFP are sex-specific.
