Patella Femoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)

Patella Femoral Pain syndrome is the most common knee disorder, accounting for 25% of all

knee diagnoses. It is often a common complaint following meniscus or ACL injury and is the

most common injury for runners.

There are multiple factors that contribute to PFPS. However, PFPS is commonly associated

with repetitive micro trauma, impaired hip muscle strength, and lower extremity flexibility.

Through proper examination a physical therapist can help to determine the contributing factors

causing your pain and difficulty from PFPS and help give you the tools needed to improve function and

decrease pain with activity.
