Evaluation of risk factors associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is the most common diagnosis in patients presenting knee pain (~25%), and one of the most common diagnosis in sports medicine centers. Here we examine believed risk factors in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) and assess their relationship to PFPS. …

Design of swimming fins to treat Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
… inner quadriceps muscle, to help patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Configurations of mock up fins, made from Lexan, were designed based off of a known dry land exercise that consisted of leg lifts with the feet turned out 45 degrees that work the Vastus Medialis. From the feedback of a …

An investigation of potential kinematic factors associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome during running
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common clinical condition affecting physically active individuals. It is characterised by pain behind or around the patella during loading of the lower limb. It is recognised that there are multiple factors that contribute to PFPS; however these factors are …

Evaluation of variables affecting lower extremity alignment in the aetiology of patellofemoral pain syndrome
The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee disorder in a wide range of physically active individuals which, in general, is caused by multiple risk factors affecting the alignment of the patellofemoral joint. The role of many presumed risk factors in the aetiology of PFPS remains …

Comparison of electrical activity of lateral and medial stabilizers of the patella and further diagnostically relevant risk factors in athletes with and without patellofemoral pain and in a Tai Chi group
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a term for a variety of pathologies or anatomical abnormalities leading to a type of anterior knee pain and is the most common single diagnosis among runners and in sport medicine centers. Despite this high incidence, the exact cause of these disorders remains …

The effect of hip position and Emg biofeedback training on selectively increasing the vastus medialis oblique in relation to the vastus lateralis
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a patellar tracking dysfunction usually associated with a muscular imbalance between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle. The imbalance is most commonly attributed to a weak VMO resulting in a smaller VMO:VL ratio. Several …

Functional tasks before and after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction : are there mechanical differences?
… joints, along with the related risk factors for patellofemoral pain syndrome and OA, before and after ACLR during running and SLS. This research aimed, in the first study, to establish within-day and between-days reliability for the use of 3D motion analysis to measure the biomechanical variables …
