Popis: Unlike twisting and cutting sports, in which there are torsional forces placed on the knee, distance running involves straight line motion. The biomechanics of running usually insure a relatively smooth tracking of the patella in the femoral groove, so it is rare for a runner to experience an acute traumatic injury of the joint. Since such injuries are rare, this article concentrates on stress-related patellofemoral syndromes that are seen in runners.
