Kinematic assessment of lower limb motion in three dimensions (3D) requires the use of advanced technology, specialized training and laboratories that do not meet the requirements of the clinical and sporting environment. Two-dimensional (2D) frontal plane knee valgus angle (FPPA) assessment has demonstrated consistently its validity, accuracy and reliability in comparison with 3D analysis methodology for the detection of dynamic valgus associated with increased external hip adduction and internal rotation torques during the execution of functional movements that require eccentric muscle control. Dynamic valgus has shown to be a predictor of anterior cruciate ligament injury and patellofemoral pain syndrome especially in women. Early detection and monitoring of kinematic behavior with low cost, low complexity and basic level of expertise instruments using 2D analysis is emerging as an important assessment strategy in sports training and clinical treatments for the prevention and rehabilitation of knee injuries associated with these movement disorders. Therefore, this narrative review aims to provide essential knowledge for the correct assessment, interpretation, and analysis of FPPA in Physiotherapists and Sports Professionals.
