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

🆕Although self-reported symptom duration is vastly used to measure the persistence of PFP, its accuracy seems questionable ‼️Read our paper for potential alternatives authors.elsevier.com/c/1kMFY… @BrazJPhysTher @RonaldoBriani @BalotariBotta @mariwaiteman @DrBazettJones @FMicolis

Can we use the contralateral limb as a reference standard when assessing physical performance of people with unilateral or bilateral patellofemoral pain? Our latest study published in @JAT_NATA has interesting results about this 👆 Full text here: doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-06…

Portable dynamometers are reliable to measure hip muscle strength. Clinicians may rely on these evidence-based recommendations to set up reliable testing protocols 👇👇👇👇 Full-text available here: doi.org/10.2519/jospt.2023.1…

Portable dynamometers may be better for tracking trends than for assessing actual strength values taken from movements at the hip... Lots more, including recommendations on how to set up reliable testing protocols #Review ➡️ ow.ly/ezke50Q8xX5 #yourJOSPT #Dynamometry
