Experimental studies investigating Cyriax’s or Kantenborn’s capsular patterns
| Authors | Year | Samples | Joints | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bijl et al. [16] | 1998 | 200 | Hip, Knee | No capsular pattern was found in patients with osteoarthritis |
| Fritz et al. [25] | 1998 | 152 | Knee | It was only valid in ratios (extension loss/flexion loss) ranging from 0.3 to 05 |
| Greenwood et al. [31] | 1998 | 5 | Hip | The capsular pattern was useful for differentiating hip pathology |
| Hayes et al. [17] | 1994 | 79 | Knee | The use of the capsular pattern as an indicator of osteoarthritis was questionable |
| Klässbo et al. [18] | 2003 | 168 | Hip | Only few individuals with osteoarthritis showed Cyriax’s and Kaltenborn’s capsular pattern |
| Pellecchia et al. [27] | 1996 | 19 | Shoulder | The intertester reliability was high, but examiners had to choose one of the two conditions; limited or full range, painful or painless, and weak or strong |
| Rundquist and Ludewig [19] | 2004 | 25 | Shoulder | Individuals with idiopathic loss of shoulder range of motion did not show Cyriax’s capsular pattern |
