1 Joint Stiffness and Pain in Individuals With Patellofemoral Syndrome Karrie L. Hamstra-Wright, PhD, ATC 1 C. Buz Swanik, PhD, ATC 2 Theresa Y. Ennis, MEd, ATC 3 Kathleen A. Swanik, PhD, ATC 4 Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy Study Design: Pretest-posttest matched control group design. Objectives: To measure passive knee joint stiffness and pain in participants with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and to determine the relationship between mechanical knee joint stiffness, self-reported stiffness, and pain. Background: Patients with PFPS complain of knee joint stiffness and pain, but no research has quantified both of these characteristics in this population. Methods and Measures: Twenty-eight individuals (14 with PFPS [mean age ± SD, 25.5 ± 4.8 years] and 14 healthy controls [mean age ± SD, 22.8 ± 5.4 years]) volunteered for this study. Mechanical passive knee joint stiffness was calculated using the damped natural frequency of oscillation of the lower leg while sitting. Mechanical stiffness was compared to self-reports of knee stiffness and pain. All measurements were recorded presitting and after 20 minutes of sitting. Results: Sitting for 20 minutes did not induce significant changes in mechanical knee joint stiffness. However, participants with PFPS reported significantly greater (P.01) knee stiffness after sitting for 20 minutes. A significant correlation (r = 0.70, P.01) was found between self-reported stiffness and pain in participants with PFPS; however, no significant relationship was observed between mechanical and self-reported knee joint stiffness. Conclusions: Despite frequent complaints of joint stiffness, the knees of individuals with PFPS do not appear physiologically stiffer than those of control subjects. Individuals with PFPS perceive increased knee stiffness after sitting, but may misinterpret the sensation of pain as joint stiffness. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2005;35: Key Words: anterior knee pain, knee chondromalacia, movie theater sign, patella Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most prevalent knee conditions in adolescents and young adults. 3,26 Individuals with PFPS often complain of knee joint stiffness after prolonged periods in knee flexion ( movie theater sign). 15 Stiffness is the resistance of a body part to changes in shape or position. 19 Mechanical measures of passive knee joint stiffness 1 Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Movement Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL; Doctoral student (at time of study), Department of Kinesiology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. 2 Assistant Professor, Department of Health, Nutrition & Exercise Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, DE. 3 Graduate student (at the time of the study), Department of Kinesiology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. 4 Assistant Professor, Undergraduate Athletic Training Director, Department of Kinesiology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.

Previous research indicates a possible relationship between pain and subjective complaints of stiffness. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis reported feelings of joint stiffness, but their elastic (mechanical) stiffness was actually less than that of a disease-free population. 10 A number of explanations have been proposed for this finding, the most common relating to patients misinterpretation of the stiffness symptom. The authors concluded that patients appear to confuse pain and stiffness. 10 It may be that patients with rheumatoid arthritis experience limitations in movement due to pain rather than increased resistance to movement (stiffness). 10 Similar to rheumatoid arthritis, stiffness and pain are common complaints associated with PFPS; but it remains unknown if the knee is physiologically stiffer in patients with PFPS. Assessing stiffness and pain in those with PFPS may facilitate greater understanding of the most effective treatment techniques for this condition. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to measure passive me- Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy 495

It was hypothesized that patients with PFPS would exhibit greater mechanical knee joint stiffness and pain than those without PFPS, and that a positive relationship would exist between mechanical knee joint stiffness, self-reported stiffness, and pain. METHODS Subjects Twenty-eight participants between the ages of 18 and 35 volunteered for this study. Fourteen participants (2 male, 12 female; mean ± SD age, 25.5 ± 4.8 years; mean ± SD body mass, 67.1 ± 28.5 kg) clinically diagnosed with PFPS by an orthopedic physician were matched by gender and age with 14 healthy control participants (2 male, 12 female; mean ± SD age, 22.8 ± 5.4 years; mean ± SD body mass, 63.4 ± 30.2 kg). Temple University Institutional Review Board approved the study, written consent was obtained from the participants, and the rights of the participants were protected. The characteristic history of PFPS used to diagnose the condition included retropatellar pain during physical activities such as climbing, descending stairs, running, or squatting, along with complaints of stiffness after sitting for a long period of time. 15,26 In addition, the participants exhibited at least 2 of the following clinical criteria on assessment: pain upon direct compression of the patella against the femoral condyles with the knee in full extension, tenderness on the posterior surface of the patella with palpation, pain with resisted knee extension, and pain during isometric quadriceps muscle contraction. 5,12,15,26 Participants diagnosed with PFPS had patellofemoral pain for a minimum of 1 year prior to testing. All participants were asked not to take part in physical activity during the 24 hours prior to testing. Participants were excluded from the study if they were asymptomatic during the 4 weeks prior to testing, 22 took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs the week before testing, or if they had previous knee surgery. Participants were also excluded from the study if they had a history of knee injury other than PFPS within the past year, for which they sought medical attention. Instrumentation The leg was modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom mass spring system with a damping component. 1,11,18,19,24 Lower leg segment anthropometric data were used to obtain lower leg and foot mass and center of mass. 25 With these data, joint stiffness was calculated using the damped frequency of lower leg oscillation of the first 2 oscillatory peaks and the coefficient of damping (Appendix A). 23 Two-dimensional kinematic data (knee flexion and extension angular displacement) were collected at 60 Hz using the PEAK Motus Motion Analysis System (Peak Performance Technologies, Inc, Englewood, CO). Trials were recorded using a video camera positioned at 90 to the plane of movement. Reflective markers were placed on the skin over the lateral malleolus and lateral femoral condyle of the symptomatic leg to aid in digitizing. The participants wore dark-colored, form-fitting shorts on which a third reflective marker was placed over the greater trochanter. Passive knee joint stiffness was calculated using the damped natural frequency of oscillation of the lower leg (Nm rad 1 /kg) while sitting. 19 Myoelectric activity was assessed with the Noraxon Telemyo system (Noraxon USA, Inc, Scottsdale, AZ) to verify quadriceps and hamstring muscle relaxation during testing. The skin over the biceps femoris and vastus medialis muscles was shaved, lightly abraded, and cleaned with a 70% alcohol solution prior to electrode application. Two self-adhesive Ag/AgCl bipolar surface electrodes (Multi Bio Sensors, Inc, El Paso, TX) were placed on each of the muscles to detect myoelectric activity. The electrodes were 10 mm apart and parallel to the fiber orientation of the underlying muscle. 4 The investigator determined electrode placement by palpating the mid length of the muscle during isometric hamstring flexion and quadriceps extension. 16 A reference electrode was positioned on the proximal medial tibia. Signals from the electrodes were passed to a battery-operated 8-channel FM transmitter worn by the subject. The signal was amplified (gain 1000) with a differential amplifier (input impedance, 10 M ) and filtered with a single-order Butterworth high-pass filter (10 Hz), a fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filter (500 Hz), and a common-mode rejection ratio of 130 db at direct current (minimum 85 db across entire frequency of 10 to 500 Hz). An antenna receiver (Antennex, Inc, Glendale, IL) with a sixth-order filter (frequency, Hz; gain, 2; total gain, 2000) further amplified the signal. The analog signal was converted to a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter card (Keithley KPCMCIA 12A1-C; Keithley Instruments, Inc, Cleveland, OH) and was stored in the MyoResearch Software, Version 2.02 (Noraxon USA, Scottsdale, AZ). The raw digital signal was sampled at a rate of 1000 Hz, rectified, and smoothed using a root-mean-square algorithm. Two separate visual analog scales (VASs) were used to measure self-reported complaints of knee stiffness and pain. 9 Patients were asked to draw an x at the point on the 10-cm line that best described their current level of stiffness or pain. One end of the VAS 496 J Orthop Sports Phys Ther Volume 35 Number 8 August 2005
3 indicated no stiffness or pain, while the opposite end signified the worse stiffness or pain ever experienced. 9 Data Collection Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy Data collection began with each participant reporting their level of perceived stiffness and pain on the 2 separate VASs, while sitting with the knee and hip positioned in 90 of flexion to replicate the position in which persons with PFPS often experience stiffness and pain (Figure 1). 15,26 The tested limb was then completely extended and held at the foot by the examiner (Figure 2). The hip remained flexed at a 90 angle. When the tested limb was completely relaxed (as indicated by lack of EMG activity), the examiner released the foot and allowed the leg to oscillate freely until it came to a stop in a vertical position. 19 Based upon visual inspection, the first 3 acceptable trials (smooth oscillations and insignificant muscle activity) were averaged for statistical analysis (presitting stiffness). EMG was not statistically analyzed, as previous authors have indicated that significant muscle activity would be characterized by undamped lower leg oscillations. 13,18 All accepted trials illustrated damped oscillations. FIGURE 1. Sitting position while watching a movie for 20 minutes. FIGURE 2. Testing position immediately prior to lower leg oscillation. Subsequent to the first measurement of mechanical knee joint stiffness, the participants remained seated in the testing chair (Figure 1), with their knee positioned in 90 of flexion for 20 minutes, while watching a movie. Following the movie, the participants completed the VASs a second time, after which time mechanical knee joint stiffness was measured again (postsitting stiffness). The first 3 postsitting mechanical stiffness trials were averaged for statistical analysis. Data Analysis A pretest-posttest matched control group design was employed. Mechanical stiffness and self-reported stiffness between participants with PFPS and without PFPS were analyzed using 2 separate 2 2 (group by time) mixed-model ANOVAs, with time as the repeated measure. Pearson product moment coefficients of correlation were used to determine the level of association between self-reported and mechanical knee joint stiffness, pain and mechanical knee joint stiffness, and self-reported knee joint stiffness and pain. Significant levels for all statistical analyses were P.05. RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in mechanical stiffness between the 2 groups presitting to postsitting (F 1,26 = 0.11, P =.92) (Figure 3). A significant interaction (P.05) in self-reported stiffness over time was found (Figure 4). Post hoc analysis using paired sample t tests with Bonferroni correction J Orthop Sports Phys Ther Volume 35 Number 8 August
4 (P.01) revealed that participants with PFPS displayed significantly greater self-reported stiffness postsitting versus presitting (t 13 = 5.18, P.01). Additionally, participants with PFPS had significantly greater self-reported stiffness postsitting versus controls (t 13 = 4.56, P.01) (Figure 4). Pearson product moment correlations did not reveal a significant relationship between mechanical and self-reported stiffness in participants with PFPS (r = 0.16, P =.41) or in controls (r = 0.30, P =.13). Mechanical stiffness and pain was also unrelated in participants with PFPS (r = 0.19, P =.32) and in controls (r = 0.03, P =.89). However, a significant positive correlation between self-reported stiffness and pain existed in participants with PFPS (r = 0.70, P.01) that was not evident in those without PFPS (r =.08, P =.69). Self-reported descriptive statistics are found in the Table and the distribution of the self-reported stiffness and pain data in both groups is illustrated in Figure 5. FIGURE 3.

The post hoc power analysis indicated that the current study had adequate statistical power (95%) to detect a minimum difference between groups of at least 1.42 Nm rad 1 (Sample Power, Version 2.0; SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). Therefore, we concluded that mechanical stiffness between participants with PFPS and those without were not significantly different prior to and after 20 minutes of sitting (average ± SD PFPS presitting, 8.01 ±2.67Nmrad 1 ; average ± SD PFPS postsitting, 8.10 ±2.81Nmrad 1 ; average ± SD control group presitting, 8.02 ± 2.52 Nm rad 1 ; average ± SD control group postsitting, 8.39 ± 2.73 Nm rad 1 ). DISCUSSION Stiffness is a common complaint associated with PFPS. Individuals with this condition often report increased stiffness after prolonged periods of sitting. The results of this investigation indicated that no significant differences exist in mechanical knee joint stiffness between patients with PFPS and matched controls prior to and after 20 minutes of sitting. However, those with PFPS had significantly greater self-reported stiffness symptoms postsitting when compared to controls. Participants with PFPS also reported a significant increase in self-reported stiffness presitting to postsitting. In addition, a significant correlation between self-reported stiffness and pain was found in the PFPS group. These findings suggest that individuals with PFPS possibly misinterpret the sensation of knee pain as joint stiffness. 498 J Orthop Sports Phys Ther Volume 35 Number 8 August 2005

6 In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, researchers debate the underlying mechanisms contributing to the relationship between mechanical stiffness, selfreported stiffness, and pain. 6,8 One hypothesis is that chronic pain leads to central nervous system plasticity. Chronic pain may elicit joint, ligament, and capsule mechanoreceptor sensitivity alterations at the spinal level, impairing proprioceptive joint responses and ultimately resulting in perceived joint stiffness. 2,6,7 Although a neurophysiological mechanism likely contributes to stiffness and pain, it may simply be that individuals with PFPS have difficulty distinguishing between these 2 symptoms. 10 Similar to those with rheumatoid arthritis, individuals with PFPS may use the term stiffness to generally describe various joint sensations that are unrelated to an increased resistance to motion (mechanical stiffness). 10 Partially due to the ambiguous definition of stiffness, patients with PFPS may report feelings of joint stiffness when it is more likely they are referring to pain. 20 Due to the confusion surrounding these terms and, because of the chronic pain nature of PFPS, clinicians may need to focus on disrupting the pain cycle to relieve stiffness and pain sensations in these patients. Although numerous researchers have used similar methodology to quantify joint stiffness, a limitation of the current study is the sensitivity of the instrumentation to detect angle specific changes in joint stiffness. Also, the number of trials required to obtain 3 acceptable (smooth oscillations and insignificant muscle activity) presitting stiffness trials was not recorded. Trial repetition may have a thixotropic effect, potentially decreasing stiffness. 17 However, presitting trials were only repeated if reflexive EMG activity was observed when the limb was released, as this muscle recruitment would heighten joint stiffness. 21 The current research findings have important implications for clinicians who frequently attempt to relieve complaints of joint stiffness in patients with PFPS. The results of this study suggest that reports of stiffness by persons with PFPS after 20 minutes of immobility, with the knee flexed to 90, appear to be subjective and unrelated to physiological or anatomical impediments to motion. To treat PFPS and alleviate these symptoms, more aggressive pain management may be warranted. This study provides initial insight into the common complaint of stiffness associated with PFPS. Future work investigating the exact etiology of the stiffness sensation may continue to enhance clinical care of this condition. CONCLUSION This study provides quantitative data on knee joint stiffness within the PFPS population. The results indicate that although stiffness after prolonged periods in knee flexion is a common complaint associated with PFPS, no significant changes occur in mechanical stiffness values after sitting for 20 minutes. However, those with PFPS complained of increased stiffness sensations after 20 minutes of sitting and a significant correlation existed between selfreported stiffness and pain in those with PFPS. Individuals with this condition may be misinterpreting the sensation of stiffness. Determining if patients with PFPS are confusing stiffness and pain sensations allows clinicians to select more aggressive, therapeutic pain management strategies for PFPS to maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation exercises and functional performance.
