Biomechanical effects of loading methods on the patellofemoral joint during stair climbing: based on statistical parametric mapping analysis.
Introduction: Stair negotiation with external loads imposes substantial demands on the structural and functional integrity of the patellofemoral joint. Current research predominantly focuses on singular loading modalities or level walking conditions, often employing discrete time-point comparisons. This study innovatively employs Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) to systematically analyze patellofemoral biomechanical characteristics during stair negotiation with different load-carrying strategies.
Methods: Twenty healthy males performed stair negotiation tasks under shoulder-load carriage (SLC) and hand-carry carriage (HCC) conditions (15 kg). Kinematic (200 Hz), kinetic (2000 Hz), and electromyographic (2000 Hz) data were synchronized to compute patellofemoral joint stress(PFJS), center of pressure (COP) trajectories, and muscle co-activation indices across stair phases.
Results: HCC generated significantly greater patellofemoral joint stress during most stair phases compared to SLC (P < 0.05), while SLC exhibited transient stress elevation only during initial double-support phase.
Discussion: HCC particularly increased joint stress during single-support and second double-support phases, with concomitant increases in COP displacement distances and reduced lower-limb co-cativation indices (CCI) collectively compromising joint stability. Despite transient stress spikes during initial double-support, SLC maintained kinetic chain equilibrium through shorter external moment arms. These findings recommend prioritizing proximal symmetric loading modes complemented by targeted vastus medialis training to enhance patellar stability, thereby reducing both patellofemoral joint stress concentrations and low back pain risks.
期刊介绍:
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
