“…On studied patients, we can infer that the reduced muscle shortening occurred because leg extension was more easily performed after treatment, since shortening assessment was made through patients' active contraction. The study conducted by Tunay et al (15) has also assessed the ischiotibial muscles shortening on patients with PFS, and their results showed a significant improvement after treatment, which is consistent to our findings. However, those authors did not describe which exercises were done by patients, therefore, a direct comparison becomes jeopardized.…”

“…Some literature studies have also assessed the Q angle in patients with PFS after treatment, although with some methodology differences. Tunay et al (15) found a significant Q angle improvement in patients submitted to different treatments. However, they did not describe which exercises were performed, making difficult to find the reasons for realignment.…”

“…Patellar malalignment -the static relationship between the patella and the femoral trochlea -is mentioned in many texts as the most common reason for PFPS [25,26,28,49,61]. Patellar maltracking -the dynamic patellofemoral malalignment during knee motion [21] is also regarded as a common component of PFPS.…”
