109 Rate of Force Development and PFP
Episode description
Back again (sorry). This time talking about PFP. A lot of people confuse the subtle differences of all the factors that underlie the heading "strength". Many are not interchangeable and should be thought about as separate constructs. This episode looks at how rate of force development may be a large factor in rehabilitation, specifically regarding PFP.
Hip rate of force development and strength are impaired in females with patellofemoral pain without signs of altered gluteus medius and maximus morphology.
