This proposal is requesting the acquisition of two important equipment: an instrumented treadmill and an isokinetic dynamometer. Instrumented treadmills are those capable of measuring forces, most commonly through at least one or two force platforms built under or within the treadmill structure. Isokinetic dynamometers are passive devices that resist applied forces and control exercise s…
One in every three individuals will need physiotherapy (PT) treatment at some point of their life. For PT treatment achieve its maximum potential, evidence-based practice (EBP) must be implemented. However, many barriers limit EBP implementation in the clinical practice of physiotherapists (e.g., lack of time, difficulties in reading and interpreting articles in English, as well as unders…
The increase in body weight is a public health problem associated with several musculoskeletal disorders. Recently, a systematic review reported that individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) have a higher body mass index (BMI) compared to asymptomatic individuals. Recent studies from our group have also reported that women with PFP have higher percentage of body fat and less muscle mass…

Introduction: Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) is a common and chronic musculoskeletal condition, characterized by pain around or behind the patella during daily and functional activities. PFP affects around 23% of the general adult population, and is associated with clinical and functional impairments. Its main rehabilitation guidelines recommend therapies based on physical exercise (PE). PE as…
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a persistent musculoskeletal disorder in which pain may last for up to 20 years after diagnosis. PFP is also challenging to treat, with up to 60% of patients reporting poor or incomplete recovery of their pain and/or restoration of their functional levels one to eight years after treatment. This may suggest that delivering interventions supported by level 1 ev…
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a chronic musculoskeletal condition with a multifactorial nature, involving biomechanical, psychological, and behavioral factors. The management of PFP is challenging, requiring multimodal and comprehensive interventions, such as patient education. Despite being suggested as an intervention with high potential in PFP management, patient education is under-inve…
Telerehabilitation emerges as an important solution for the treatment of individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) nowadays; and provides an effective and feasible strategy when non-supervised interventions are needed. Although the effectiveness of non-supervised interventions has been reported, there is no evidence on the assessment process of people with PFP via telerehabilitation. It …

Objective function is one of the primary clinical outcomes on the treatment of patellofemoral pain (PFP). Previous studies have reported that individuals with PFP have compromised performance during clinical tests measuring objective function, such as the single leg hop test (SLHT). However, these findings are limited to analysis considering the comparison between painful (unilateral PFP)…
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely considered as the most viable and successful management option to improve pain and quality of life for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, many patients who had undergone TKA have residual anterior knee pain, impaired functional performance and lower limb biomechanics after surgery. These impaired lower limb biomechanics may lead…
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common and costly musculoskeletal disorder that encompasses men, women and adolescents. Muscles such as the hamstring can influence knee and patellofemoral joint mechanics during functional activities. In fact, experimental studies have shown that hamstrings loading contributes to lateral patellofemoral malalignment and elevated cartilage pressure, main cont…
