Summary: The purpose of this study was to quantify the patellofemoral force and stress during bodyweight wall squats and ball squats, as well as the influence of heel-to-wall-distance variations. The results showed that the bodyweight wall squat produced greater patellofemoral force and stress compared to the bodyweight ball squat during squat descent. Additionally, squatting with a shorter heel-to-wall-distance resulted in greater anterior knee displacement and increased patellofemoral force and stress.

Summary: This study found that adding a brief psychologically informed video to traditional physical therapy can significantly reduce pain-related fear, pain catastrophizing, and improve function among adolescents with PFP. While an immediate effect on function was observed post intervention, this effect did not continue throughout the course of care.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between 3D patellar shape and isolated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA), as well as the morphological features and clinical symptoms of PFOA. The results showed that certain shape variants were significantly associated with the presence of PFOA and structural abnormalities. Multiple associations were also found between patellar shape and clinical symptoms. The findings suggest that patellar shape may serve as an early detectable risk factor for PFOA.

Summary: The study found that females with PFP demonstrate altered trunk, pelvis, and knee joint kinematics during running compared to healthy controls. However, there were no significant differences in peak kinematic variables between the two groups. These findings suggest adaptive rigidity at the pelvis in PFP patients and potentially protective strategies to prevent further knee malalignment.

Summary: The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with kinesiophobia in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and interventions that may reduce kinesiophobia in individuals with PFP. The findings showed a moderate association between kinesiophobia and poorer function, as well as a weak association between kinesiophobia and higher pain in individuals with PFP. Taping and bracing immediately reduced kinesiophobia, while kinesiophobia-targeted interventions showed promise in reducing kinesiophobia following the full intervention.

Summary: The study showed that combined strengthening of the hip abductors and external rotators with stretching of the hip internal rotators significantly improved pain and function in patients with PFPS, with these improvements maintained for at least 12 weeks.

Summary: While therapeutic exercise is commonly used in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome, the addition of radiofrequency diathermy as a complementary therapy may provide better relief of pain. A randomized controlled trial compared the effects of adding radiofrequency diathermy to therapeutic exercises in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, and found that the combination was more effective in reducing pain intensity than exercises alone.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Pilates-based core strengthening exercise program on adolescents with PFPS. The results showed that the Pilates exercises helped reduce pain, increase muscle strength, improve functional status, and enhance health-related quality of life in the study group compared to the control group.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if a specific positioning of the shoulder could reduce the intensity of post-stroke shoulder pain. The results showed that there was no significant difference in shoulder pain intensity between the group with specific positioning and the group with usual practice.

Summary: This study aims to compare the clinical and biomechanical outcomes of dynamic versus static medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Using a randomized clinical trial design, patients with recurrent patella dislocation will be recruited and randomly assigned to different reconstruction techniques, with long-term follow-up. The study will provide evidence to support orthopedic surgeons in their decision-making for surgical techniques.

Summary: The study examined the effects of easy goals versus difficult goals on acquisition and retention of basketball free throws in children with intellectual disability. The participants were randomly assigned to either an easy goals group or a difficult goals group. Results showed that participants with easy goals improved their performance while those with difficult goals failed to improve. These findings suggest that providing children with intellectual disability with easy goals facilitates the process of sport skill learning.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of visual illusion on performance in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in a far-aiming skill. The results showed that visual illusion biased golf putting performance in ASD children, but it did not affect their planning ability (QED). These findings support Glover and Dixon's model.
