Not all patellofemoral pain is the same.

A history of knee trauma may influence:
- Clinical presentation
- Movement strategy
- Interpretation of biomechanical findings

New paper published👇🏼

@DrBradNeal @iPFRN Congratulations @DrBradNeal! Well deserved!

[BrazilianPFPResearchGroup @BrazilianPFPRG]

🆕Although self-reported symptom duration is vastly used to measure the persistence of PFP, its accuracy seems questionable

‼️Read our paper for potential alternatives

🚨Our newest Systematic Review, including 83 studies, showed large-effect deficits in function of individuals with PFP! However, they were not explained by age, BMI, symptoms duration or pain.

🎉 It’s finally here! 🎉
After 5 years of on-and-off work, I am excited to announce our systematic review investigating the relationship between hip strength and hip and knee kinematics during single-leg tasks is officially published! 📚✅
