Abstract in brief

  • The consensus from the 2017 International Patellofemoral Research Retreat emphasizes exercise therapy, particularly combining hip- and knee-focused exercises, along with foot orthoses, as effective treatments for patellofemoral pain.
  • It advises against using patellofemoral knee or lumbar mobilizations and electrophysical agents as standalone treatments, highlighting the uncertainty around methods like taping, bracing, acupuncture, manual soft tissue techniques, and gait retraining.
  • The statement is based on recent research and expert voting, aiming to guide healthcare professionals in evidence-based management of patellofemoral pain, with the formation of the International Patellofemoral Research Network for ongoing study.]
