To effectively manage PFP, clinicians must first understand the diagnostic criteria for this condition, along with the parthomechanics that can lead to the development of PFP.
2. Classification Scheme for PFP
Factors such as decreased strength, faulty lower extremity biomechanics, and hypermobility at the foot may play a role in altered mechanics at the patellofemoral joint.
