Knee Pain

Compensation patterns in the three planes
  • Sagittal 
  • Frontal 
  • Transverse

Postural stabilization is done at the subconscious level.

Compensation is a movement adaptation that is learned at a subconscious level

Rehabilitation uses conscious cues to repattern a movement and restore normal stabilization (glute bridge, wobble board, single leg exercises)

Compensation in the sagittal plane
Gluteal amnesia and quad dominance
Weak glutes, tight hip flexors, overactive rectus femoris, weak vastus medialis tight lateralis, tight calves, weak psoas, tight sartorius

Compensation in the frontal plane
Lateral stabilization subsystem
IT band syndrome weak gmed with overactive TFL gmin (all weak)
Valgus knee - tight adductors, weak ankle stabilization weak abductors

Compensation in the transverse plane
Posterior sling weak glutes tight lats
Anterior sling weak abs, tight adductors
