Abstract
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common and chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by the presence of pain around or behind the patella during daily and functional activities. PFP affects approximately 23% of the general adult population and accounts for 11% to 17% of all knee pain assessed in general practice. PFP is associated with worse quality of life, subjective and objective f…

Abstract
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is characterized as diffuse anterior knee pain exacerbated by activities that increase compressive forces on the patellofemoral joint. PFP is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limbs, affecting one in four physically active individuals. In addition to persisting in about 50% of cases even after treatment, PFP can compromise the functi…

Abstract
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common running-related knee injuries, while also affects one-quarter of the general population that are not runners. Individuals with PFP present with reduced hip and knee muscle torque, pressure pain threshold, physical activity level, increased fear of movement, and pain catastrophizing. They also present with altered body composition (e.g., …
