The superimposed-burst (SIB) technique is commonly used to quantify central activation failure after knee-joint injury, but its reliability has not been established in pathologic cohorts.
To assess within-session and between-sessions reliability of the SIB technique in patients with patellofemoral pain.
Descriptive laboratory study.
University laboratory.
A total of 10 patients with self-reported patellofemoral pain (1 man, 9 women; age = 24.1 ± 3.8 years, height = 167.8 ± 15.2 cm, mass = 71.6 ± 17.5 kg) and 10 healthy control participants (3 men, 7 women; age = 27.4 ± 5.0 years, height = 173.5 ± 9.9 cm, mass = 78.2 ± 16.5 kg) volunteered.
INTERVENTION(S): Participants were assessed at 6 intervals spanning 21 days. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs [3,3]) were used to assess reliability.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Quadriceps central activation ratio, knee-extension maximal voluntary isometric contraction force, and SIB force.
The quadriceps central activation ratio was highly reliable within session (ICC [3,3] = 0.97) and between sessions through day 21 (ICC [3,3] = 0.90-0.95). Acceptable reliability of knee extension (ICC [3,3] = 0.75-0.91) and SIB force (ICC [3,3] = 0.77-0.89) was observed through day 21.
The SIB technique was reliable for clinical research up to 21 days in patients with patellofemoral pain.
叠加脉冲(SIB)技术常用于量化膝关节损伤后的中枢激活功能障碍,但尚未在病理队列中确定其可靠性。
评估SIB技术在髌股疼痛患者中的日内和日间可靠性。
描述性实验室研究。
大学实验室。
共有10名自述有髌股疼痛的患者(1名男性,9名女性;年龄 = 24.1 ± 3.8岁,身高 = 167.8 ± 15.2厘米,体重 = 71.6 ± 17.5千克)和10名健康对照参与者(3名男性,7名女性;年龄 = 27.4 ± 5.0岁,身高 = 173.5 ± 9.9厘米,体重 = 78.2 ± 16.5千克)自愿参与。
参与者在21天内分6次进行评估。组内相关系数(ICC[3,3])用于评估可靠性。
股四头肌中枢激活率、膝关节伸展最大自主等长收缩力和SIB力。
股四头肌中枢激活率在日内(ICC[3,3] = 0.97)和至第21天的日间(ICC[3,3] = 0.90 - 0.95)高度可靠。至第21天观察到膝关节伸展(ICC[3,3] = 0.75 - 0.91)和SIB力(ICC[3,3] = 0.77 - 0.89)的可靠性可接受。
对于髌股疼痛患者,SIB技术在长达21天的临床研究中是可靠的。
