    Study Notes

    Positional Release Therapy for Knee and Thigh Injuries: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Treatment

    • Knee injury is common among children, young adults, and seniors, with the highest incidence rate among those aged 15-24 years.
    • Knee injuries are incurred primarily during sports and recreation among those younger than 24 years, and at home among those over 25 years.
    • Knee and thigh injuries incurred during adolescence may persist throughout the lifespan, potentially causing long-term disability.
    • Previous knee injury is a significant risk factor for future injury, and impaired neuromuscular control and abnormal biomechanics predict initial and future knee injury.
    • Overuse injuries among adolescents may be underestimated and require evidence-based prevention programming.
    • ACL injury in the United States alone may cost upward of $1 billion annually, with approximately 100,000 ACL injuries occurring annually.
    • Hip abductor weakness, particularly among females, has been investigated as a cause of ACL injury, but multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to knee injury susceptibility.
    • ACL injury prevention programs tailored to the adolescent athletic population, particularly females, have received significant attention, but the literature is mixed on their effectiveness.
    • High compliance with neuromuscular training appears to reduce ACL and acute knee injury rates.
    • No studies to date have examined the impact of PRT on orthopedic related injuries to the knee and thigh, but a few have examined its impact on hamstring flexibility, showing promising results.
    • Common anatomical areas and conditions for PRT include patellofemoral pain syndrome, pes anserine tendinitis, meniscal injury, and iliotibial band friction syndrome.
    • PRT can be used to treat anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral structures of the knee and thigh.
