Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparing the physical and sonographic findings of dancers with Chondromalacia patella to non-dancers athletes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A cross sectional study in which comparing of dancers to non-dancers athletes will be carried. Specifically, chondromalacia patella will be studied and compared between dancers with and without knee injuries and non-dancers athletes.

Study will include detailed function and pain questionnaires, physical findings and sonographic study of the knee joint.
