Which of the following patellar malalignments results in increased patellar mobility,decreased quadriceps strength,and increased patellofemoral compressive forces?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patella alta (high-riding patella) results in increased patellar mobility, decreased quadriceps strength, and increased patellofemoral compressive forces. This is due to the patella being positioned too high in the patellofemoral groove, resulting in decreased leverage and stability for the quadriceps muscle group, and increased pressure on the patellofemoral joint.
