ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine if there is a relationship among isometric hip strength, hip kinematics, and peak gluteal muscle forces in cross-country runners during running. DESIGN: Cross Sectional. SETTING: University Biomechanics Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-six NCAA Division III collegiate cross-country runners (18 males, 28 females). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pearson correlation coefficients were used to describe relationships among isometric hip strength, hip kinematics, and peak gluteal muscle forces during the stance phase of running. Strength of correlations were interpreted as little to no relationship (r < 0.25), fair relationship (0.25 ≤ r < 0.5), moderate relationship (0.5 ≤ r < 0.75), and strong relationship (r ≥ 0.75). Correlations were considered significant if p < 0.05. RESULTS: Little to no relationships were found among isometric hip strength and gluteal muscle forces during running (r < 0.25). A fair relationship was present between prone external rotation isometric hip strength and peak hip adduction (0.25

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: First metatarsal protrusion distance (MPD) has been commonly studied as a characteristic of hallux valgus deformity. To date, the majority of investigations have used radiographic methods, with most reporting first metatarsal (ray) protrusion to be associated with deformity. As an alternative, this study used a three-dimensional (3-D) image acquisition and data analysis method to quantify MPD. METHODS: Magnetic resonance images were acquired in weightbearing on 29 women (19 with hallux valgus; 10 controls). After the 3-D images were reconstructed into virtual bone models, two examiners measured MPD in relation to the navicular. In addition to a reliability analysis, a t test assessed for group differences in demographics, foot posture (hallux valgus, intermetatarsal angles), and MPD. RESULTS: Group demographics were not different, while measures of hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles were different ( P < 0.01) between groups. The measurement of MPD was highly reliable (ICC [Formula: see text] 0.99; SEM [Formula: see text] 0.78 mm). Metatarsal protrusion averaged approximately -2.0 mm in both groups. There was no statistical group difference ( P = 0.89) in MPD. CONCLUSIONS: The reconstructed image datasets captured the 3-D spatial relationship of the anatomy. Measurements of MPD were reliable. The first ray measured 2 mm shorter than the second ray in both the hallux valgus and control groups. Though unexpected, this result may prompt future study of the pathokinematics associated with hallux valgus that include the quantification of metatarsal protrusion with 3-D methods, instead of relying solely on single-plane radiograph reports.
