Q angle

68
Q

What is the normal range for Q angle?

A

15-20 degrees

69
Q

What is the Q angle NR for men?

A

14 degrees

70
Q

What is the Q angle NR for women?

A

17 degrees

71
Q

Who usually has a higher Q angle and why?

A

women, because of their naturally wider pelvis

72
Q

If measured laying down the Q angle will be - degrees ___

A

1-3

lower

73
Q

A HIGH Q angle often results in ____ which means it DOES NOT travel over the front of the knee joint as it should

A

malt racking of the patella

74
Q

Overtime, mal tracking of the patella can cause ____ to the cartilage on the ___ of the patella which causes pain often known as

A

microtrauma
rear
anterior knee pain, patellofemoral pain or chondromalacia patella

Q

How do you decrease the Q angle?

A

A thorough biomechanical assessment is required in order to progress with a treatment plan. The first step is to correct any over-pronation at the feet using orthotics.
There is no manipulation or adjustment (such as you might receive at a chiropractor) to reduce Q angle. Correct biomechanics must be achieved through a rehabilitation program which focuses on restoring flexibility to tight muscles (commonly calves, hamstrings and quadriceps. )
