Abstract

Patellofemoral dysfunction may be one of the most common and troublesome maladies to affect a patient. The correct identification of the underlying causes is paramount. Once identified, an effective rehabilitation program should be implemented. The program should include stretching and strengthening as well as several other therapeutic modalities. The most successful rehabilitation program is designed to address the specific needs of the patient.
