Rheumatology, 01/20/09
Fatoye F et al. - Study demonstrates that knee joint proprioception was impaired in children with hypermobility syndrome (HMS). They also had weaker knee extensor and flexor muscles than healthy controls.
Methods- Aim was to investigate knee joint proprioception and muscle torque in healthy children (n=37) vs those with HMS (n=29)
- Knee joint kinaesthesia (JK) and joint position sense (JPS) were measured
- Knee extensor and flexor muscle torque was assessed and normalized to body mass
- Mann–Whitney U-tests performed to compare JK, JPS and muscle torque
- Children with HMS had poorer JK and JPS vs controls
- Knee extensor and flexor muscle torque was also reduced in children with HMS vs healthy counterparts
