Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a chronic knee pain disorder that has high recurrence rates after treatment. While longer pain duration (>4 months) is one of the primary mediators for poor PFP prognosis, there are no clinical studies testing patients' response to early physiotherapy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of an early physiotherapy program compared to a de…
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 defined as diffuse anterior knee pain affecting one in four physical active individuals. PFP can negatively affect function and quality of life. Furthermore, it seems that individuals with PFP may develop patellofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) in the long-term. Investigating contributors to the chronicity of PFP is of utmost importance as high rates of symptoms re…
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common reported disorder affecting mainly women. It is defined as a diffuse anterior knee pain, exacerbated by activities such as stair negotiation, squat and running. Studies have explored aspects related to the multifactorial nature of PFP, specially the biomechanical parameters that may influence the rehabilitation of these individuals. However, the corre…

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)…
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common knee disorder of insidious onset. Knee crepitus is a common clinical sign in individuals with PFP, presenting a prevalence of up to 70% in this population. Although knee crepitus does not seem to be related with poor clinical outcomes in women with PFP, it does seem to generate negative patients' beliefs over the condition. Interestingly, protection m…
