The effect of patellofemoral bracing on walking in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Background: Although knee braces are used by individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome, the effect of patellofemoral bracing on knee flexion during walking has not been elucidated.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of patellofemoral bracing on sagittal plane knee joint kinematics and temporal spatial parameters during walking in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Study Design: Quasi-experimental.
