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 👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2026.… #PatellofemoralPain #MedicalHypotheses

Not all patellofemoral pain is the same. A history of knee trauma may influence: - Clinical presentation - Movement strategy - Interpretation of biomechanical findings New paper published👇🏼 doi.org/10.1111/sms.70274
