Hamstring length in patellofemoral pain syndrome
Physiotherapy, 2008AbstractPurpose. To investigate whether there was a difference in hamstring length between patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome and healthy asymptomatic control participants between 18 and 35 years old. Relevance. Short hamstrings may produce greater patellofemoral joint reaction forces.

Bone scan in the patellofemoral pain syndrome
International Orthopaedics, 1987Eighty patients who complained of retropatellar pain underwent evaluation by bone scintigraphy, intraosseous pressure determination, radiography, arthroscopy and physical diagnostic tests. The bone scans showed that 48% of the painful knees had an increased uptake compared with 9% for the normal joints.

Exercise therapy for patellofemoral pain syndrome
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2003Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common problem among adolescents and young adults, characterised by retropatellar pain (behind the kneecap) or peripatellar pain (around the kneecap) when ascending or descending stairs, squatting or sitting with flexed knees.

Patellofemoral Joint Kinematics in Individuals with and without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 2006Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a prevalent condition in young people. While it is widely believed that abnormal patellar tracking plays a role in the development of patellofemoral pain syndrome, this link has not been established. The purpose of this cross-sectional case-control study was to test the hypothesis that patterns of patellar spin, tilt ...

Differences in patellofemoral contact mechanics associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome
Journal of Biomechanics, 2009Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a disorder of the patellofemoral (PF) joint in which abnormal tracking is often cited as a factor in pain development. PF tracking is partially dependent on passive stabilizers (ex: PF geometry). Relations amongst PFPS, PF tracking, and contact mechanics are poorly understood.

[Patellofemoral pain syndrome].
Der Orthopade, 2005The patellofemoral pain syndrome is of high socioeconomic relevance as it most frequently occurs in young working patients. As its etiology is often unknown there is no standard treatment protocol. Several studies analyzed the different causes of patellofemoral pain and their different therapies.

The effect of patellofemoral bracing on walking in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2013Although knee braces are used by individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome, the effect of patellofemoral bracing on knee flexion during walking has not been elucidated.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of patellofemoral bracing on sagittal plane knee joint kinematics and temporal spatial parameters during walking in individuals ...

The patellofemoral pain syndrome
2016Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a frequently encountered reason for consultation in adolescent and young adults. It is manifested by anterior knee pain following a wrong patella tracking during mobilization of the knee, causing excessive compression on the patellar facets.

American family physician, 1993
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common problem that occurs in association with mild malalignment of the extensor mechanism of the knee or as a result of repetitive microtrauma from overuse. Patients most often present with retropatellar or peripatellar knee pain, which becomes especially noticeable when they climb or descend stairs.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome: evaluation and treatment
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2004Patellofemoral pain syndrome is common among athletes and non-athletes. It results from an imbalance of forces acting on the patellofemoral joint, which leads to increased strain on the peripatellar soft tissues, increased patellofemoral joint stress, or both.
