82. Knee - Runner's Knee (Chondromalacia Patellae) runners may experience knee pain after running a certain distance when their knee seizes up and forces them to stop. Runner’s knee (Chondromalacia patellae), http://www.studenthealth.co.uk/leaflets/RunnersKnee.htm

Runner’s knee (Chondromalacia patellae) www.Studenthealth.co.uk Symptoms The main symptoms of runner's knee (chondromalacia) are aching around the knee cap. This ache may be worse on climbing stairs or cycling. Runners may experience knee pain after running a certain distance when their knee seizes up and forces them to stop. Cause Chondromalacia is caused by disproportionate development of some muscles around the knee. These muscles then pull the knee cap in the wrong direction. The back of the knee cap then starts rubbing against other parts of the knee joint and ache develops. Some patients have a predisposition to knee pain because the knee cap is small or anatomically misplaced. Treatment This condition often gets better on its own in time, but can persist for years. You can speed up the recovery process if you follow this advice. Modify your exercise to e.g. cycling in low gears, gentle jogging, swimming etc. Do the following; Knee exercises: Sitting on a bed, keep your leg flat and bend your toes towards your head as much as possible, keep this position for ten seconds and release. Repeat this ten times.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome - "Runner's Knee" Richard Parker, M.D. This syndrome is a very common cause of pain to the outside of the knee and it occurs often in runners. The Iliotibial Band is a dense broad band of connective tissue running from the hip across the knee joint to the tibia along the outside of the leg. It plays a big factor to the structural reliability to the lateral side of the knee. This injury can greatly disturb any running program and can cause great pain if overlooked and not taken care of. Irritation develops at the site of the band where there is friction created as the band passes over the lateral femoral condyle. This is often classified as an overuse injury. Symptoms: Complaining of pain to the outside of the knee when running. Tenderness over the area when the knee is even slightly flexed. Pain and discomfort when walking down the stairs or when affected leg is on an incline. Pain when sitting for a long period of time. Treatment: Immediately stop or decrease activity.

February 21, 2003 . VOLUME 96 . NUMBER 3 . BACK TO HEADLINES ARCHIVES A runner's gentle soul and a runner's gentle knee By KATHERINE TYLEVICH Features Editor In the glory day of my awkward Middle School years, I received the devastating news that my hand-eye coordination was "satisfactory at best." While my team effort and ability to take orders and listen were both deemed excellent, any activity involving basic human movement was on the border between average and sub-par. I am not a born athlete, and I am not a born champion. The mere thought of long-distance running once triggered such hysteria and hyperventilation within me that I was diagnosed with Exercise Induced Asthma without much further testing. The doctor prescribed an old-school, expanding inhaler and weeks of intense psychotherapy. What he failed to prescribe, however, was a healthy dose of self-esteem and a weekly Monday-night yoga class. Maybe it's my hereditary high cholesterol that compelled me to sign up for beginning yoga, open to both students and faculty members, or maybe it's my intrinsic bourgeois need for classic irony. Regardless, two weeks ago I found myself, quite literally, in a very compromising position. To be precise, I found myself in "Adho Mukha Svanasana." Or, for those of us who don't speak yoga, "Downward facing dog." If hovering over a yoga mat on all fours with ones buttocks elevated several feet above the rest of ones body does not spell humiliation for the cynical and ungraceful, I'm not sure what does. Fortunately, I am perfectly confident that what I do in the yoga classroom is not only healthy but undoubtedly essential for a woman of good breeding. A woman who isn't afraid to energize the body, stretch the shoulders, hamstrings, calves, arches and hands, strengthen the arms and legs and help herself relieve the disheartening symptoms of menopause. A maturing woman like me.

PC Coach Ask the tri doc: Knee trouble by Dr. Jeffrey Sankoff, MD, FRCP This report filed March 1, 2004 Dear Doc, I am a 45-year-old marathoner and triathlete who last June cracked my kneecap and partially ruptured the PCL in my left knee. I originally thought it was runner's knee as the pain went away after about five minutes of running. It was only in late July running hills that it became so bad I went to the Doctor, saw an Sports Orthopedic surgeon, had x-rays (no damage seen), an MRI where they diagnosed the crack that had healed and the rupture of the PCL that also was healing. Then I had a Doppler Ultrasound for vascular damage, only very minor varicose veins found. The surgeon decided not to operate or do anything. It is about 75 percent of before now, but still some dull pain when running and occasionally when I bike hard. I have done strength training for the knee, leg presses, hamstring curls, weighted leg extensions, etc. I tried Glucosomine with chrondroitin, but it has not gotten any better for three months. Any suggestions or things to do ?

The muscles that surround the knee provide mobility and strength to the legs. When athletes run or jump, the kneecap alone often endures forces of 1000 to 1500 pounds. The entire knee joint is under massive stress with these kinds of activities, especially when there are imbalances in muscle strength or flexibility. In time, overuse injuries, such as runner's knee, may develop. The main symptom of runner's knee is a dull, aching pain under or around the kneecap. It is felt when the kneecap repeatedly grinds against the thigh bone (femur), the bone behind the kneecap. This causes the cushioning behind the knee cap to break down. The break down of this cushioning is progressive. First, it softens. Then, it might fray, crack, crater, or tear. The pain is most noticeable going down stairs or hills. Unequal leg length, turned-in thighbones, and flat feet can increase the risk for developing runner's knee. Nearly 30 percent of runners eventually develop runner's knee. Skiers, cyclists, soccer players, and people who participate in high-impact aerobics classes may also get runner's knee.

Suggested retail price: $13.95 What is Runner’s Knee? A common running injury, runner’s knee refers to pain and inflammation that occurs near the kneecap or behind it. This is caused by the wearing away of cartilage that cushions the knee as it moves, which is the result of the kneecap not tracking properly. This creates too much or too little pressure on the cartilage, accelerating deterioration of the cartilage. Pain may increase when the knee is bent, as is the case when sitting for long periods of time. Pain from Runner’s Knee can be felt below the kneecap or behind it. Symptoms: - Overpronation: not enough support from improperly fitted or worn out shoes, causing the kneecap to move inward when running, walking, etc. - Improper tracking of the kneecap, which can happen from downhill running/walking or activity on uneven surfaces. - Weak or tight IT Band, hamstring or calf muscles. - Excessive training. - Wide hips (usually female athletes). - Knock knees.

Chondromalacia, also called chondromalacia patellae, refers to softening of the articular cartilage of the knee cap. Chondromalacia occurs most often in young adults and can be caused by injury, overuse, parts out of alignment, or muscle weakness. The most frequent symptom is a dull pain around or under the knee cap that worsens when walking down stairs or hills. A person may also feel pain when climbing stairs or when the knee bears weight as it straightens. The disorder is common in runners and is also seen in skiers, cyclists, and soccer players.

Radio National Transcripts: The Health Report Monday, 4th November, 1996 Nicotine and Alzheimer's Disease/"Runner's Knee"../../../../../Bad Backs/Leptin Norman Swan : Welcome to the program. Today, which treatments really work for the bad back? Which treatments work for runner's knee? Stringing obesity, diabetes and the 75th anniversary of the discovery of insulin together in the South Pacific; and potential benefits for nicotine and the brain. Tomorrow Americans will go the polls. Throughout this election, many issues have been raised, including campaign finance reform. President Clinton has promised that if he's returned to the White House, he'll push for changes to campaign financing. That would mean companies like Phillip Morris, the largest tobacco company in the world, and a major contributor to the Republican Party, would have their political donations sharply reduced. And though this tobacco giant has made news with its involvement in the political scene, last week they surfaced again for funding a new study linking nicotine and Alzheimer's disease positively. And as Janet Silver reports from Washington, this was one of two projects which suggested that nicotine may prove to be the basis for a new Alzheimer's disease drugs. Janet Silver : There may be some scientific proof to the smokers' claim that lighting up helps them to concentrate. A study released last week credits nicotine with increasing the transmission of nerve impulses to an area of the brain involving learning and memory. For years, researchers have studied the structure and function of nicotinic receptors in the brain, but they could not explain what these receptors were doing. To answer those questions, scientists used neurone tissue culture from rat brains.

100. THE THERAPY CORNER Runner s knee part I. But if it veers to the left or right .. $@*^ !!! This is essentially what happens with runner s knee. http://www.syracusechargers.org/therapy/chapt15.htm

Runner's Knee - part I. Just about all long-time runners have heard the term "runner's knee," and probably most are at least aware that the kneecap is somehow involved. Many have even mastered the pronunciation of the most commonly used medical term for it - chondromalacia patella - while not really understanding what it means or how it develops. This month, I'll try to explain this ailment in some detail and next time I'll cover some of the newer ideas on treatment of it which is causing considerable excitement in the physical therapy community. Chondromalacia means "softening of the cartilage." The cartilage we're talking about here is on the posterior (back) surface of the kneecap. This articular (joint) cartilage is like a TeflonR coating on the bone which provides a smooth, friction-free surface to allow for easier movement. As in all joints, one of the most important functions of this cartilage is to prevent pain from the movement of the bones against each other, since articular cartilage has no pain-sensing nerves, while bones do. Thus, when cartilage erodes, as it does in degenerative joint disease (arthritis), the exposed bone surface becomes painful as pressure is applied to it by weight-bearing or movement against an adjoining bone. Next month, I'll cover the underlying causes of "runner's knee" and describe how we treat it.
