ABSTRACT

Introduction: Several studies have related a propioception deficiency with pathology incidence on the knee. It hasn’t been related muscle strength with propioception. Objective: To determine the relation between propioception and muscle strength in the knee. Method: Symptomatic 20 men and 20 women, without cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and osteoarticular alterations. We evaluate kinesthesic conscience trough a Biodex 3 dynamometer at 15°, 30° and 45°. Eliminating visual and joint (ankle and hip) afferences. And preformed a isokinetic evaluation at 60°, 90° and 120° for second in concentric modality for extension and flexion of the knee. Results: We obtained 18 men and 20 women. Age range of 25 to 42 years (X = 30.7), high 1.62 to 1.82 m (X = 1.74) in men, and 1.49 to 1.72 m (X = 1.57) in women. Weight from 62 to 102 kg (X = 81.7) in men and 40 to 95 kg (X=57) in women. Values for median of kinestesic concience with oscillations in right from 1.11° to 1.2°, left from 1.1° to 1.3° in men. In women from 1.8 a 2.5 right and 1.5 to 1.9 left. Confidence intervals from 95% were very narrow in both groups for kinesthesic conscience (between 0.85 to 1.6 in men and 1.09 to 3.56 in women) at different grades join position. When we correlated high to kinesthesic concience, we obtain a correlation coefficient and regression with negative values for both groups. Conclusion: To a bigger high less grade of variation in kinesthesic evaluation, mediated trough a grater muscle strength.
