Abstract

The change in lower extremity movement pattern has been previously associated with severe knee disorders, including anterior cruciate ligament rupture, patellar tendinopathy, iliotibial band syndrome, and patellofemoral pain (PFP). The aim of this study was to verify the clinical reliability of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ADROM) measurement with weight bearing (WB) using an app on the smartphone (iHand) and to verify if there is correlation between the limitation of the ADROM and the PFP. A total of 67 women, mean age 34.3 ± 2.4, height 182 ± 3.6, weight 73.7 ± 4.2, were allocated to the control group (n = 23) and the PFP group (n = 23). Two examiners evaluated the active ADROM (lunge test) in both ankles at two times to test inter-examiner and intra-examiner reliability. It was observed in the PFP group that the mean ADROM was 17.7 ± 2.5 and the control group was 35.3 ± 6.2 (right) and 17.1 ± 2.9 and 32.9 ± 5, 4 (left). It is concluded that the use of the smartphone app proved to be reliable for clinical application in the evaluation of ADROM with WB and that there is a relation between the low DFT of DFT with the presence of patellofemoral pain.

Resumo

A alteração no padrão de movimento da extremidade inferior tem sido previamente associada com severas desordens do joelho, incluindo a ruptura do ligamento cruzado anterior, tendinopatia patelar, síndrome da banda iliotibial e dor patelofemoral - DPF. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a confiabilidade clínica da mensuração da dorsiflexão de tornozelo - DFT com descarga de peso - WB utilizando um app no smartphone (iHand) e verificar se há correlação entre a limitação da DFT com a DPF. Participaram 67 mulheres, idade média 34,3±2,4, altura 182±3,6, peso 73,7±4,2, alocadas em grupo controle (n=23) e grupo DFP (n=23). Dois examinadores avaliaram a DFT ativa (lunge test) em ambos os tornozelos em dois momentos para se testar a confiabilidade inter-examinador e intra-examinador. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse - CCI foi utilizado para a análise da confiabilidade das medidas. Observou-se alta confiabilidade (0,9965 [p<0,0001]) e (0,9949 [p<0,0001]) para tornozelo direito e esquerdo respectivamente. Observou-se no grupo DFP que a ADM média de DFT foi de 17,7±2,5 e grupo controle de 35,3±6,2 (direito) e 17,1±2,9 e 32,9±5,4 (esquerdo). Conclui-se que a utilização do app de smartphone se mostrou confiável para aplicação clínica na avaliação da DFT com WB e que há relação entre a baixa ADM de DFT com a presença de dor patelofemoral.
