- Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is common among young, active individuals, and this study aimed to investigate how muscle strength in the lower extremities changes after aerobic exercise in those with PFP compared to healthy individuals.
- The research involved 17 people with PFP and 17 without, who completed strength tests and functional questionnaires before and after 10 minutes of treadmill exercise.
- Results showed that those with PFP had significantly lower strength in hip abductors and knee extensors and performed worse on the Single-Leg Triple-Hop test after exercise, indicating impaired muscle function linked to their condition.

Current screening strategies emphasize the use of Ortolani and Barlow physical examination manoeuvres, yet they exhibit low sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new physical examination tool (the pronation manoeuvre) as a screening tool for DDH.
