Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to profile muscle groups impacted by patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) to identify functional weaknesses around the knee.
- - Out of 63 female patients evaluated, significant strength losses were found in the hip abductors and quadriceps, along with reduced ankle dorsiflexion and internal rotation abilities compared to the other leg.
- - The results indicated increased dynamic valgus and pelvic drop, suggesting that deficits in specific muscle groups could contribute to knee pain in these patients.
