Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Injury

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a common cause of pain around the knee cap. When the knee bends or straightens, the knee cap glides in a special groove on the thigh bone called the 'Patellofemoral groove', controlled by the quadriceps (thigh) muscles. However, for several reasons it may stray from this path (usually towards the outside of the knee). This is called Patellofemoral Maltracking and produces abnormal stresses on the under-surface of the patella that can cause knee cap pain. Physiotherapy often plays a vital role in the treatment of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Common Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome signs & symptoms:

  • Pain at the front of the knee while ascending or, more often, descending stairs.
  • Pain at the front of the knee whilst running.
  • Knee pain during prolonged sitting.
