Abstract

Introduction
Femoral anteversion (FA) and tibial torsion (TT) are known factors to contribute to patellofemoral instability [1]. Studies showed increased knee joint loading in individuals with idiopathic rotational deformities [2]. Investigating the effect of FA and TT on patellofemoral joint loading and lower leg muscle forces could help to better understand their impact on patellofemoral instability.
