Abstract
Purpose
This study was a cross-sectional study that aimed to compare the total Landing error scoring system (LESS) scores of individuals with Patellofemoral pain (PFP) with healthy controls and assess the association of pain, function, and psychological factors with LESS score.
Methods
Twenty-seven male athletes with PFP completed a standardized jump-landing task. They were compared with a matched, healthy group. Also, participants completed four questionnaires involving the visual analog scale (VAS), Anterior knee pain scale (AKPS), Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK), Beck anxiety and depression inventory scale (BAI, BDI).
Results
PFP group had significantly a higher total LESS score than the control group. They displayed lateral trunk flexion and less knee flexion in the initial contact of landing. Our results showed a significant strong correlation between VAS, AKPS, and TSK with a final score LESS. In addition, a low to moderate significant correlation obtained between BAI, BDI and final score LESS.
Conclusions
The LESS is a useful clinical test for evaluating landing errors in people with PFP. Greater kinesiophobia, pain, poorer self-reported function and psychological factors were correlated with a total LESS score.
