Table 2 Comparison of knee flexion angles between groups with and without tibiofemoral joint rotation control.
| Conditions | Mean±SD | F | P value | ηp2 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PFP group (n=12) | Non-PFP group (n=12) | ||||
| AKWOC (°) | 107.25±7.30 | 114.59±10.60 | 3.901 | 0.061 | 0.151 |
| AKWC (°) | 73.08±16.33 | 101.75±19.52 | 15.223 | 0.001* | 0.409 |
| PFP – patellofemoral pain; AKWOC – active knee flexion in the side-lying position without tibiofemoral joint rotation control; AKWC – active knee flexion in the side-lying position with tibiofemoral joint rotation control; F – F statistic; SD – standard deviation; * | |||||
