Q Angle

The Q angle is a measurement which reflects the effect of the quadriceps mechanism on the knee. When assessed correctly, it informs you about the alignment of your pelvis, leg and foot. Determination of the Q angle is particularly important for patients who are involved in sports. It is suggested to measure this angle in female patients who walk for health or climb stairs frequently. Controlling foot pronation can often reduce the detrimental effects of an abnormal Q angle.
