Es wurde die Sprunggelenkdynamik während des Absprungs und der Landung beim Schmetterschlag und ihre Beziehung zur Patella-Tendopathie untersucht. Angewandte Methoden: 3D-Analyse, Untersuchung der Kinematik und Gelenkmomente von Sprunggelenk, Knie- und Hüftgelenk, Analyse der Bodenreaktionskräfte. Probanden: 10 Mitglieder der kanadischen Nationalmannschaft im Volleyball/Männer. Laut Anamnese und physischer Untersuchung wiesen 3 Spieler bei Belastung Schmerzen der Patellasehene auf. Im Verlauf der Untersuchung wurde eine Patella-Tendopathie diagnostiziert. Ergebnisse: Die maximale externe Tibiarotation trat zur oder nahe der maximalen Dorsiflexion auf, während die maximale interne Tibiarotation mit der maximalen Plantarflexion übereinstimmte. Das Plantarflexionsmoment war drei bis zehnmal größer als alle anderen gemessenen Momente. Das maximale Plantarflexionsmoment wurde mit 0,4 BWm (360 N) berechnet. Eine der dynamischen Variablen (Inversionsmoment während der Landung beim Schmetterschlag) war ein signifikanter Prädiktor der Patella-Tendopathie. Objective Ankle joint complex dynamics developed during volleyball spike jumps take-offs and landings were quantified to assess potential relations between these joint dynamics and patellar tendinopathy. Design Three-dimensional kinematic data provided information about movements of the lower limbs, while the kinetic data permitted analysis of ground reaction forces as players took-off and landed from full-speed spike jumps. Setting Simulated volleyball court with net in a biomechanics research laboratory. Participants 10 members of the Canadian Men's National Volleyball Team. From history and physical examination, 3 of the 10 players had patellar tendon pain associated with activity and were diagnosed with patellar tendinopathy at the time of the study. Investigators were blinded about the injury status of the players. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures Three-dimensional kinematics and joint moments of the ankle, knee, and hip joints. Results Our analysis revealed that maximal external tibial rotation occurred at or near maximal dorsiflexion while maximal internal tibial rotation coincided with maximal plantarflexion. The plantarflexion moment was 3 to 10 times greater than all the other moments measured, with the maximal plantarflexor moment being calculated at 0.4 BWm (360 Nm). In blinded logistic regression analyses, we found one of the dynamics variables (inversion moment during the landing of the spike jump) was a significant predictor of patellar tendinopathy. Conclusions Coupling the results of the current analysis of ankle joint complex dynamics with previously reported results of knee joint dynamics related to patellar tendinopathy suggests that a cluster of variables linked to patellar tendinopathy includes: high ankle inversion-eversion moments, high external tibial rotation and plantarflexion moments, large vertical ground reaction forces, and high rate of knee extensor moment development.
