Mechanistic reasoning would suggest that seated knee extension limited from 90-45 would reduce load on the patellofemoral joint. Yet the evidence not relying on surrogate outcomes shows no difference in pain response for 90-45 vs 45-0. Treat the person.

Our new paper is out! 📢
Patellofemoral pain may not result from a single risk factor, but from a dynamic web of interacting determinants.
Check out our infographic for a summary of the proposed framework 👇

🤖 Can AI chatbots support #PatientEducation for #PatellofemoralPain? Across 4 tools, answers were generally accurate, complete and consistent, yet none met a sixth-grade readability benchmark and safety disclaimers varied widely. #AIinHealthcare buff.ly/k0Fc8y6

Too tight, too painful. 😬 This double-bundle artificial MPFL reconstruction uses staged tensioning and a suture-sliding anchor to fine-tune graft tension and reduce the risk of over-constraint.

New 🚨 in The American Journal of Sports Medicine: in 51 adolescents with patellofemoral pain, running in minimalist shoes (vs motion-control) cut peak patellofemoral joint force by 7.5% and lateral patellar force by 7.8%. Gastrocnemius force ↑ 26.6%

Great research from Tjerk Visser & colleagues has given us normative values for calf testing that go beyond reps alone!
Assessing peak height, total work & total displacement can provide valuable insight into calf function.

Excited to share that our paper on the kinetics of males with patellofemoral pain is published. It's open access in Clinical Biomechanics. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1nLNK…

One of my favourite papers on patellofemoral pain (via @JFEsculier et al). A very good example of why unnecessary complexity in rehab doesn't always add additional value.

For patients with patellar instability with valgus alignment, Moran et al report lateral opening DFO with MPFL reconstruction as a viable treatment option, though hardware irritation and reoperation remain common. #PatellarInstability#DFO

The Tendinopathy Severity Assessment – Patellar (TENDINS-P) includes subdomains of pain (general), function & pain (w/ loading), taking 4 to 9 mins to complete.

5 year prognosis for patellar tendinopathy
journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
71% returned to pre injury sport BUT only 68% of these (less than 50% of people overall) returned to pre-injury level of competition.
Not a good stat. We need to do better for patellar tendinopathy.

Trochleoplasty for severe trochlear dysplasia shows strong mid-term results: significant improvements in knee function & QoL, with no recurrent instability or major complications at 5.3y follow-up. Safe & effective option. 🔗

New systematic review
In patellofemoral pain (PFP), muscle strength shows mostly weak to moderate links with key factors:
- Pain & function
- Kinesiophobia
- Lower limb movement patterns
