Abstract
Although the etiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP) is not yet fully understood, recently factors proximal to the knee joint, such as the weakness of the extensor and abductor hip muscles, have been linked to the PFP. While studies show that subjects with PFP have weakness of the hip muscles, the possible causes of this weakness have not been studied, such as muscle atrophy. In addition to…

Abstract
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a knee disorder with multifactorial characteristics which proximal, focal and distal factors to knee could influence its development and/or course. The most important distal alteration presented by PFP individuals is related to rearfoot eversion motion. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive movement of rearfoot eversion, foot orthoses have been used to PFP tr…
