Wellbeing A-Z -Q angle disfunction

The video tutorial explains the Q angle, which is the angle formed by the quadriceps from the kneecap to the hip. A healthy Q angle is around 11°, while anything over 15° can lead to knee problems. Females generally have larger Q angles due to wider hips, affecting the patella's alignment. Factors like running technique can increase the Q angle, but orthotics and posture techniques can help. If not addressed, a high Q angle can cause knee pain or injuries like patellofemoral pain syndrome. Immediate medical advice is recommended if knee pain occurs.
