Summary

Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) is one of the most common disorders that affecting the physically active population, and its incidence is higher among women. Despite the high incidence, the etiologies of this painful syndrome are still unclear. Research has verified the influence of hip stabilizers on knee injurie and has demonstrated a deficit of strength of the hip lateral rotator, abductors and extensors muscles in patients with PFP. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of strengthening the Posterolateral Hip Complex with the Anteromedial Hip Complex associated with quadriceps strengthening for pain reduction and improvement of functional capacity in patients with PFP.
