Concepts in Rehabilitation of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
TLDR
Suggestions for a clinical treatment for patellofemoral pain based on current research and theory are presented.Abstract:
© 2004 Human Kinetics • ATT 9(3), pp. 66-71 Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is arguably one of the most frustrating musculoskeletal conditions a certified athletic trainer/therapist faces. Many articles have been written about the causes and treatment of PFPS, and perhaps this plethora of information adds to the frustration clinicians feel when attempting to choose from a variety of treatment options. This article presents suggestions for a clinical treatment for patellofemoral pain based on current research and theory.read more

Knee-Extension Exercise’s Lack of Immediate Effect on Maximal Voluntary Quadriceps Torque and Activation in Individuals With Anterior Knee Pain
TL;DR: WB and NWB knee-extension exercises did not acutely change quadriceps torque output or activation and it may be necessary to perform exercises over a number of sessions and incorporate other disinhibitory interventions (eg, cryotherapy) to observe acute changes in quad riceps torque and activation.

Biomechanical considerations in patellofemoral joint rehabilitation
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patients with patello femoral joint arthritis may tolerate rehabilitation with leg press exercise better than with leg extension exercise in functional ranges of motion because of lower patel lofemoral joint stresses.
