Official Title: Investigation of the Changing of Quadriceps Angle in Static and Dynamic Postures in Healthy Adults and Its Relation With Physical Parameters
Brief Summary:
The Q angle, also known as the quadriceps angle, is defined as the angle formed between the quadriceps muscles and the patella tendon.It was first described by Brattstrom in 1964 (1).The Q angle is the angle between the line extending from the anterior superior of the spina iliaca to the midpoint of the patella and the line extending from the midpoint of the patella to the tuberositas tibia (2).Normally, this angle is between 8-14 degrees in men and 11-20 degrees in women.Any alignment change that increases the Q…
