Summary

Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a condition of misleading diagnosis. It mostly affects individuals with ages between 18-40 years. It is believed that much work has been done on the joint itself in treating the Quadriceps muscles and triggers related to it but now literature is focusing on the segmental involvement, where weakness of the hip abductors and lateral rotators play a major role. Therefore, interventions used for treating this syndrome should include on focusing the hip muscles for trigger point therapy as well as strengthening them in increasing the stability of the hip and pelvis to reduce excessive valgus forces on the knee.
