Brief Summary:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome PFPS is among the most prevalent forms of knee discomfort The main complaint is typically anterior knee pain which gets worse while jumping bending knee going up or down stairs or sitting for long periods of time with bent knee Teens and early adulthood are commonly affected by patellofemoral pain syndrome with a higher frequency in females In healthy general populations the prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome is 227 and in teens it is 289
Detailed Description:
The treatment goals of patellofemoral pain syndrome are to reduce pain increase muscle strength increase flexibility and correct the patellar movement tract Conservative methods should be used before invasive methods when treating PFPS One of the ways that people with PFPS may benefit from improved knee function and long-term pain reduction is by strengthening their quadriceps muscles which primarily reduce force in the patellofemoral joint Conservative methods described in the literature include the following modifying activities electrophysical modalities like biofeedback therapeutic ultrasound neuromuscular electrical stimulation thermotherapy interferential current transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation TENS knee braces strengthening the hamstring anterior tibialis and gluteal muscles stretching for iliotibial band and lateral retinaculum
