Leg Pain Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PPS) can affect an athlete of any age. Tight hamstrings can be a root cause of anterior knee pain by placing greater http://www.healthcaresouth.com/pages/legpain.htm
Extractions: Leg Pain Runners with leg pain often suffer from one of three entities: anterior knee pain, shin pain, or Achilles tendon and heel pain. These can be the cumulative result of increases in midseason training that overtax young athletes. In general, the intensity, duration, and frequency of training should not be increased by more than 10% in a given week. So, a runner who runs 20 miles a week should run no more than 22 miles the next week at the same pace without adding hills or sprint work. Table 1 lists specific age-based recommendations for maximum running distances. TABLE 1 Recommended maximum running distances per day Age (yr) Distance (km) 21.1 (half-marathon) 42.2 (marathon) Multiple minor injuries or repeated injuries to the same area are signs of inadequate rest and rehabilitation. The highest risk factor for subsequent injury is incomplete rehabilitation of a primary injury. Athletes with first-time injuries should therefore diligently rehabilitate before returning to play. Special attention must be paid to a history of stress fractures anywhere in the body. In a female athlete, such a history may be the only obvious sign of the female athlete triad of osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities, and an eating disorder. Although no athlete is immune from the consequences of inadequate nutrition, a young woman who participates in an endurance activity or "appearance" sport such as figure skating and gymnastics is at particular risk.
Extractions: The majority of knee injuries in adults are of a ligamentous nature. In children, however, a bloody effusion after injury frequently indicates bony injury. Determination of Radiographs . Only 5% to10% of persons with knee trauma have a fracture. Guidelines have been established to hep determine who should have a radiograph. Use clinical judgment, however. Ottawa Knee Rules . 97% sensitive and 27% specific for fracture. X-ray those who Are age 55 or older Have tenderness at head of fibula Have isolated tenderness of patella Have inability to flex knee to 90 degrees Have inability to walk four weight-bearing steps in the ED Pittsburgh Decision Rules . 99% sensitive and 60% specific for fracture Blunt trauma or fall as mechanism of injury plus either of the following Inability to walk four weight bearing steps in the ER Ligamentous Injuries Collateral ligament injury Typically caused by direct trauma to the contralateral side of the knee, or excessive indirect force to the knee in a varus or valgus manner.
Common Adolescent Problems: Knee Pain - Keep Kids Healthy Parapatellar knee pain syndrome or chondromalacia patellae children with this common The most common injury is to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/adolescent/adolescentproblems/kneepain.html
Extractions: Main Adolescent Adolescent Problems Knee Pain The knee is made up of bones, cartilage (or menisci) that lie between the knee and the bones of the lower leg, ligaments that run along the inside and outside part of the knee (medial and lateral collateral ligaments ), and ligaments that cross the inside of the knee (anterior (ACL) and posterior (PCL) cruciate ligaments ). Injury to any of these structures can cause knee pain. It is very common for children to complain of knee pain, especially adolescents that are active in sports. If your child has knee pain that is restricting his activities, if he is unable to bear weight on the leg, or if his knee is red or swollen, then you should see your doctor for an evaluation. Some common causes of knee pain in children include: Parapatellar knee pain syndrome or chondromalacia patellae: children with this common condition usually have vague pain in both knees around the knee cap or patella. It is not known what causes the pain and x-rays and other testing will be normal. The pain is made worse by certain activities, such as running, jumping, doing knee bends, sitting for a long time, or climbing stairs and improves after a period of rest. Treatment consists of rest from any activity that regularly makes the pain worse, avoiding knee bend exercises (especially weight machines), and using an anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen. You can also do strengthening exercises, such as isometric quadriceps exercises (see below) and/or flexibility exercises.
Extractions: PFPS develops most commonly as an overuse problem. The client will report anterior knee pain that is associated with activities emphasizing flexion and extension of the knee. Especially common are problems occurring with running, jumping, climbing or descending stairs, as well as squatting. The pain is described as a non-specific aching in the anterior knee region that often improves with rest and gets aggravated during activity. Sensations of grinding may also be reported when the knee is moved through flexion and extension. Pain is usually worse when flexion and extension movements are done against resistance or in a weight-bearing position. For example, squatting would be more painful than sitting on the edge of the treatment table and extending the knee. Both motions move the knee through flexion and extension, but in the first case there is resistance to the extensor mechanism that would aggravate the PFPS pain. Unless the condition is in a very advanced stage, pain is not common with any passive movements because there is not enough stress on the involved tissues. There are no outwardly visible signs of PFPS, though certain biomechanical or postural distortions can play a major role in this condition. Observing their presence is a helpful indicator. Especially important is the presence of genu valgum ("knock knees") or a large Q angle. These postural distortions will increase the tendency for lateral tracking of the patella because the angle of pull of the quadriceps muscle group is altered.
