(1) Background and purpose: Muscular control and motor function in a patient with
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) have not yet been investigated systematically …

Identifying potential gait deviations in patellofemoral instability (PI) can help with the
development of effective rehabilitation strategies. The purpose of this systematic review was …

Background. Humans typically walk in ways that minimize energy cost. Recent work has
found that healthy adults will even adopt new ways of walking when a new pattern costs less …

Background Studies evaluating kinematics lead to different conclusions, not all changes
appear in all assessed tasks and in all subgroups of patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP) …

Context: The effects of an exercise program (EP) for the treatment of patellofemoral pain
syndrome (PFPS) are well known. However, the effects of osteopathic manipulative …

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis of the knee causes pain and gait disturbances, as well as a
distinct gait pattern. Patients with knee OA have decreased range of motion (ROM) and …

Study design: This study is a prospective study. Aim: Lower extremity malalignment is an
