Correlation between Quadriceps Angle, Iliotibial Band Flexibility, and Hamstring to Quadriceps ratio in young recreational runners with Anterior Knee Pain. A Crossectional Analytical Study

Approval is obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee. Participants fitting the inclusion criteria will be recruited and a written informed consent will be obtained in the language best understood by them. Demographic data(Age,gender,height,weight) will be obtained and filled in the case record sheet. If case of bilateral affection, the knee with higher VAS score will be considered. In affected leg, the maximum peak torque for the Hamstring and quadriceps muscles will be detected , H:Q ratio will be measured and isokinetic data will be printed. In standing,Q angle will be measured.Adduction angle will be measured using ober’s test. Statistical analysis will be done using pearson’s corelation coffecient test (if data passes through normality) or spearman corelation coefficient test ( if data does not pass through normality).
