“…Google Scholar was used as a complementary search engine. In addition, a manual search in the relevant journals was performed to identify articles that may not have been identified in the electronic database search [7]. The search strategy was based on the patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) index (Table 1).…”

“…Foot pronation in the initial stance phase is responsible for the response to loading and force attenuation during impact [7]. In a meta-analysis, Ahmadi (2022) reported that PFP patients tend to increase the loading rate [24].…”

“…The prevalence of PFP was reported at 29.2% in women and 15.5% in men [6]. The prevalence of PFP in the general population and athletes has been reported at 22.7% and 40%, respectively [7]. The main clinical symptom of PFP is pain aggravation during activities that require knee flexion and increasing activity of the quadriceps muscle [8,9].…”

Purpose: Increased patellofemoral joint reaction force is the main cause of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Foot pronation causes faulty joint coupling of the lower limb and increases the patellofemoral joint reaction force; accordingly, this study aims to systematically review the effect of the distal interventions on the clinical symptoms and kinematics of patients with patellofemoral pain. Methods: The search strategy was applied to Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The search was limited to the English language. The studies were from 2000 to 2022. In 4 stages, the selected articles were screened for systematic review. The quality of the study was evaluated by the Downs and Black scale. Meanwhile, the articles were classified into 3 categories as follows: High, medium, and low quality. Results: A total of 12 articles were screened for this systematic review. The quality of the study was medium. Meanwhile, 5 articles had medium quality and 7 articles had high quality. The results of the systematic review showed that distal interventions are effective in improving clinical symptoms and correcting the faulty kinematics of the lower limb. Conclusion: Distal interventions by correcting the faulty joint coupling reduce the patellofemoral joint reaction force and pain. As a result, distal interventions in combination with proximal exercise have a better effect on clinical symptoms.
