Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods The investigators expect to recruit 150 subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome to participate in this study. All patients underwent computed tomography imaging of symptomatic knees, with and without quadriceps muscle contraction in 0°, 15° and 30° of knee flexion. Patellar lateral condyle index and patellar tilt angles of Sasaki and modified Fulkerson were measured to investigate the effect of quadriceps contraction on patellar repositioning.
