Biomechanical dysfunction likely underpins both conditions, with alterations in patellofemoral joint mechanics leading to a loss of tissue homeostasis [7], [14]. However, following the initial loss of tissue homeostasis pain can persist indefinitely, with pain presentations varying considerably between ...
Muscular weakness of the VMO could lead to patellar lateral tracking and abnormal changes in patellofemoral joint pressure, producing knee joint instability, subsequently followed by pain, dysfunction and pathological changes of the patella cartilage [8]. Some research [4, 9–11] confirms that ...
