Summary:
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal pains. Its etiology is multifactorial and the results of current treatments are poor. This presentation will examine the challenges of understanding the mechanisms by which PFP develops, the different intervention options available, and the evolution of our understanding of clinical subgroups. This presentation will cover the concept of targeted interventions for PFD and how they can improve patient-reported therapeutic outcomes.
