Patellofemoral pain (PFP) typically presents as diffuse anterior knee pain, usually with activities such squatting, running, stair ascent and descent. It is common in active individuals across the lifespan,1–4 a frequent cause for presentation at physiotherapy, general practice, orthopaedic sports medicine clinics particular.5 ,6 Its impact profound, often reducing ability of those PFP to perform sporting, physical activity work-related pain-free. Increasing evidence suggests that it...

Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are considered the gold standard when evaluating in a surgical population. While psychometric properties of some PROs have been tested, newer patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery remain somewhat unknown. Purpose: To evaluate reliability, validity, responsiveness, and interpretability 5 (Copenhagen Hip Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS], Disability Osteoarthritis [HOOS], [HOS], International Tool [iHOT-33], Modified Harris [MHHS]) population also...

Patellofemoral pain affects a large proportion of the population, from adolescents to older adults, and carries substantial personal societal burden. An international group scientists clinicians meets biennially at International Research Retreat share research findings related patellofemoral conditions develop consensus statements using best practice methods. This statement, 5th held in Australia July 2017, focuses on exercise therapy physical interventions (eg, orthoses, taping manual...

Patellofemoral pain affects physically active and sedentary individuals, accounting for 11–17% of knee presentations to general practice1 ,2 25–40% all problems seen in a sports injury clinic.3 ,4 is characterised by anterior associated with activities such as squatting, rising from sitting stair ambulation. While traditionally viewed self-limiting, increasing research data suggest that patellofemoral often recalcitrant can persist many years,5–8 may cause decline participation.8 ,9 Despite...

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) has traditionally been viewed as self-limiting, but recent studies show that a large proportion of patients report chronic knee at long-term follow-up. We identified those with an unfavourable recovery ('moderate improvement' to 'worse than ever' measured on Likert scale) and examined whether there is association between PFP osteoarthritis (OA) 5-8-year follow-up.Long-term follow-up data were derived from 2 randomised controlled trials (n=179, n=131)....

Objective To determine the prevalence and factors associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) specific OA features on MRI 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods Isotropic 3.0T scans were obtained for 111 participants (71 men; mean ± SD age 30 8 years) ACLR as well 20 age‐, sex‐, activity level–matched uninjured controls. The Knee Score was used to score features. MRI‐defined tibiofemoral patellofemoral evaluated based...

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common lower extremity conditions seen in orthopaedic practice. The mission second International Pain Research Retreat was to bring together scientists and clinicians from around world who are conducting research aimed at understanding factors that contribute development and, consequently, treatment PFP. format 2.5-day retreat included 2 keynote presentations, interspersed with 6 podium 4 poster sessions. An important element consensus statements...

Objectives Describe proportions of individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) an unfavourable recovery over 12 months; identify clinical predictors poor at 3 and determine baseline values that those 12-month prognosis. Methods An observational analysis utilised data from 310 PFP enrolled in two randomised trials. Thirteen variables (participant, PFP, study characteristics) were investigated for their prognostic ability. Pain, function global measured months. Multivariate backward stepwise...

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common condition, causing considerable morbidity in athletes and non-athletes alike. Conservative or physical therapies are accepted as first-line management of AT; however, despite growing volume research, there remains lack high quality studies evaluating their efficacy. Previous systematic reviews provide preliminary evidence for non-surgical interventions AT, but key components outlined the Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-analyses...

Patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis are prevalent associated with substantial functional impairments. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) recommended for research clinical use, but no PROMs specific patellofemoral osteoarthritis, existing have methodological limitations. This study aimed to develop a new subscale of the Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-PF), evaluate its measurement properties.Items were generated using input from 50 patients and/or 14 health medical...
