No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal condition in adult females, which is associated with decreased quality of life and physical activity levels. PFP is highly persistent, with up to 50% of adolescents reporting persistent pain at both one and two year follow-ups. Previous research has demonstrated altered pain sensitivity in in older individuals with chronic pain, however, less is known about this in conditions such as PFP, which is common in younger populations. Additionally it is unknown if these characteristics return to similar values as healthy controls, when symptoms resolve.

The aim of this study will be to compare pain sensitivity in individuals with PFP, compared to those with a previous history of PFP who currently are pain-free, and a control group with no history of knee pain.
