Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy measurements are reliable for studying patellar bone hemodynamics and affected by venous occlusion, but not by skin compression

Abstract Purpose According to the homeostasis model, patellofemoral pain (PFP) results from disturbed homeostasis due to vascular insufficiency in the anterior knee. Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) measures relative changes in concentrations (in µmol/cm2) of (de‐)oxygenated hemoglobine (HHb and O2...
