“…This confirms the finding that being overweight was a risk factor of PFP. However, many studies suggested that height, weight and BMI did not impact pain intensity, or the function in patients with PFP and consequently did not considered as a significant risk factor 25,28,29 . These differences may be due to the previous literature that was limited to a specific gender, age group, and population.…”

Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) is frequently described as clinical knee pain influencing adolescents and physically active adults; however, prevalence and risk factors in a large-scale population is not well established. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PFP in Majmaah, Saudi Arabia; and to interpret the influence of factors such as age, gender and BMI on the prevalence of PFP. Two hundred and forty-eight subjects including males and females were assessed in this study. A crosssectional study was performed in Majmaah Governorate, and surrounding cities, Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of PFP was considerably high among females (72.3%), while it was 27.7% among males. Moreover, the age was a significant predictor for PFP [OR=1.04, 95% CI-1.01-1.07], while the gender and BMI were not significant predictors. Based on these results, PFP is a commonly reported knee condition among adolescents. Apart from gender factor, overweight persons appear to be more liable to develop PFP. Moreover, increasing age is strongly associated with increasing risk of PFP.

“…Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is defined by the presence of anterior knee (retropatellar) pain, related to the increase of contact pressure (stress) in the patellofemoral joint, being the most common athlete's knee problem, especially in runners. PFPS etiology is not well established, nevertheless, it's related to multifactorial causes like direct trauma or any activity that may cause patellofemoral joint compression, like long periods of sitting, squatting, going up and down stairs, which makes it harder to diagnose [1][2][3] .…”

“…PFPS also makes up 3% of all diseases that attack the knee 1,4 . PFPS risk factors include quadriceps muscle weakness and biomechanical misalignments in the Q angle, tibiofemoral angle, external static rotation of the knee, tibial lateral torsion and hyperpronation of the foot, which affect the distribution of forces acting on the knee joint, since their adequate alignment is necessary for a harmonious functioning between the hip and knee joints [1][2][3]5 . The proximal portion of the femur is influenced by both the frontal and axial plane.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Patellofemoral pain syndrome is an anterior knee pain (or retropatellar), associated to knee joint stress. The risk factors include musculoskeletal disorders that affect the distribution of forces acting on the knee joint, as in the femoral anteversion. The objective of this study was to verify the relationship between the femoral anteversion angle and the patellofemoral pain syndrome in young women who do not practice regular physical activity. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, case-control study. The sample includes 100 women (G1, n=50 -anterior knee pain; G2, n=50 -control group). The instruments applied were the Anterior Knee Pain Score, numerical pain scale, and Craig's test. The groups were compared using the Student's t-test, p<0.05 for significant results (GraphPad Prism 8). RESULTS: The mean age was 21.5±3.45 and 20.9±2.85 years old for G1 and G2, respectively. Mean pain intensity was 4.6±1.97 for G1, with no pain recorded in G2 (p=0.0001). The mean anteversion angle of the femoral neck was 16.2±4.85 degrees in G1 and 15.6±4.87 degrees in G2 (p= 0.566). The average score obtained with the Anterior Knee Pain Score was 81.4±10.46 and 94.8±5.41 points for groups 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.0001). CONCLUSION: No relationship was found between angulation of the femoral neck and the presence of anterior knee pain, however, a greater functional loss in the group with pain was observed.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to estimate Patellofemoral Joint Dysfunction in obese postmenopausal women. Methods: Depending on selection criteria, 100 obese postmenopausal women were selected by simple random sampling method. Written consent was taken and a detailed outcome assessment was done by using a Numerical Pain Rating Scale for pain assessment, Range of motion of hip, knee, ankle joint, Waldron Test, Eccentric Step-down Test, and Quadriceps angle. Statistical analysis was done and results were obtained. Findings: Among the 100 participants, 63% of women experienced pain during their daily activities. The mean pain intensity at rest was 2.25 ± 1.91, and during activity, it increased to 3.28 ± 6.60 (p value < 0.0001). The range of motion in the hip, knee, and ankle joints was reduced compared to that of individuals in the same age group without pain. Specifically, Hip extension-adduction, knee extension, and ankle plantarflexion-inversion-eversion had a p value of <0.0001. For hip flexion-abduction-medial and lateral rotation, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion, the p values were 0.0003, 0.1952, 0.0001, 0.003, 0.0392, and 0.0333. Additionally, 35% of women had quadriceps angles greater than 180 degrees, while the remaining 65% had angles less than 180 degrees. 63% of women exhibited crepitus during activities like stair climbing and walking. 52% of women tested positive on the Waldron Test. 60% of women showed positive findings on the Eccentric Step-down Test. Conclusion: It concluded that there is significant Patellofemoral Joint Dysfunction in obese postmenopausal women.
