Summary

The study will investigate an association between ankle dorsiflexion and altered frontal knee kinematics during step down test in patients with PFPS.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

frontal projection angle, ankle dorsiflexion

Dorsiflexion measurements will be taken in 4 different positions and repeated and recorded 3 times in each position, Prone bent, straight knee and Standing bent, straight knee. Prior to the measurement, the participants completed two 30-second calf stretches The FPPA was determined as the angle at the knee formed by lines connecting the anterior superior iliac spine, the midpoint of the femoral condyles and the midpoint of the malleoli at the deepest part of the squat
