A 24-year-old NCAA Division I collegiate football placekicker presented in the clinic 4 months postseason complaining he had begun to experience pain and stiffness in his knee with subsequent loss of power and distance with his kicks toward the latter part of the previous season. He was placed on a rehabilitation program which included utilizing end-range isotonics for the quadriceps, short-arc isokinetics at intermediate speeds, and full range isokinetics at high contractile speeds for knee extension and flexion, lower extremity stretching, electrical stimulation to the quadricep musculature, and underwater kicking workouts along with placekicking and kickoff workouts. The patient was treated in the clinic 3 times per week for 8 weeks and upon discharge subjectively reported having regained distance and power with his kicks. Pre- and post-Cybex testing revealed an increase in peak torque at 60 and 180 degrees /sec of 14 and 15%, respectively, of the quadriceps in the affected kicking leg. This study details one form of intervention in patellofemoral syndrome associated with the specialized sport skill of placekicking.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1988:10(6):224-227.
一位 24 岁的美国全国大学体育协会（NCAA）一级大学美式足球的专职踢球手，在休赛期的第 4 个月来到诊所，抱怨他在之前赛季的后半段开始感到膝盖疼痛和僵硬，随后踢球的力量和距离都有所下降。他接受了康复治疗计划，包括对股四头肌进行末端等长运动、中速短弧等动运动、高速全范围等动运动，进行膝关节伸展和屈曲、下肢伸展、股四头肌电刺激以及水下踢球练习，同时还进行踢球和开球练习。患者每周在诊所接受 3 次治疗，持续 8 周，出院时主观报告说他的踢球距离和力量都有所恢复。Cybex 测试前后显示，患侧踢腿的股四头肌在 60 和 180 度/秒时的峰值扭矩分别增加了 14%和 15%。本研究详细介绍了一种与专职踢球这种特殊运动技能相关的髌股综合征干预形式。《美国矫形运动疗法杂志》1988 年；10（6）：224-227。
