The Inter-Rater Reliability and Diagnostic Accuracy of Patellar Mobility Tests in Patients with Anterior Knee Pain (The Physician and Sportsmedicine)




Patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) often have nonspecific findings on clinical examination. A tight knee and diminished patellar mobility in particular, may contribute to anterior knee pain. Methods Qualifying patients with anterior knee pain of > 4 weeks were sequentially examined by 2 physicians who used the patellar mobility tests. The tests evaluated for diminished patellar translation superior-inferiorly and medial-laterally, diminished patellar tendon mobility, and absent inferior pole tilt. Each of the 4 tests was scored as 1 (diminished/absent) or 0 (nondiminished/normal), with the sum of the scores determining the patellar mobility scale. Inter-rater reliability and diagnostic accuracy were determined and analyzed. R
