“…Thus 25 articles were excluded. In the end, 7 studies were selected on the prevalence of PFPS in workers, which corresponded to the following economic sectors according to EU-OSHA [8]: one in Manufacturing [16], one in Transport and Stock [17], four studies in the Public Administration and Defense [18][19][20][21]and a study in the Arts, Entertainment and Recreation [22].…”

“…The results showed a lack of information on PFPS prevalence in the work context, even though limits to the publication period were not considered during the search for information. A total of 7 works were identified, of which 4 are the result of studies in military populations [18][19][20][21], one with professional ballet dancers [22], one in the Automobile Industry [16] and 1 with Selective Garbage Truck Drivers [17]. PFPS is a multifactorial syndrome and can develop in different situations [23,24].…”

“…Pereira et al published the results of an additional investigation. Out of the twenty workers who were exposed to the risk of PFPS, six males (30%) were affected (27) . While 63.54% of Lahore students reported mild or no symptoms of PFPS, 26.74% reported moderate symptoms of anterior knee joint pain, while 9.72% reported severe symptoms, our study's findings were consistent with those results, which were found by Ali et al (28) .…”

Introduction:The gradual development of diffuse anterior knee pain is characteristic of patellofemoral pain (PFP), which is made worse by activities that put stress on the patellofemoral joint, such as running, stair climbing, and squatting. While 23% of the overall population has PFP, athletes can have a prevalence of 35%. Objectives: To identify the prevalence and potential risk factors of patellofemoral pain as well as knee pain in the heavily obese people living in Cairo. Subjects and methods: This study was carried out in Great Cairo, Egypt. The SNAPPS questionnaire was utilized. 910 participants were male and female young adults, ranging in age from 18 to 40. Results: The prevalence of PFP was shown to be 42.4%. Males had a prevalence of 42.2% for PFP and females 42.6%. With 127 individuals reporting knee pain, the overall prevalence of the condition was determined to be 14%. In males, 17.3% of the population experienced knee pain, while in women, it was 11.9%. Chi-squared test revealed that all risk factors (body mass index, job, marital state and age) were significantly linked with prevalence of patellofemoral (p-value<0.05) and knee pain (p-value<0.05) except gender that was insignificantly associated with patellofemoral pain (p-value=0.46). Conclusions: Obese people living in Cairo, Egypt, had a relatively significant incidence of PFP and knee pain. People under the age of 40 had a greater incidence of PFP and knee pain in comparison with those in older age groups.

“…It is possible to observe different prevalence rates in studies with specific populations. There were found prevalence values of 35.7% in professional cyclists during the competition season [ 2 ], 34.9% in workers at a large Iranian manufacturing company [ 3 ], 13.5% in the military [ 4 ], and 30% in drivers of selective waste collection [ 5 ].…”

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is highly prevalent; it can cause severe pain and evolve into progressive functional loss, leading to difficulties performing daily tasks such as climbing and descending stairs and squatting. This systematic review aimed to find evidence, in the literature, of squat movements that can cause or worsen PFPS. This work was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, and its protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019128711). From the 6570 collected records, 37 were included. From these 37 articles, 27 present a causal relationship between knee flexion and PFPS, 8 describe a relationship, considering the greater existence of muscle contractions, and one article did not describe this relationship in its results. The main limitations stem from the fact that different studies used different evaluation parameters to compare the force exerted on the patellofemoral joint. Furthermore, most studies are focused on sports populations. After analysing the included works, it was concluded that all squat exercises can cause tension overload in the knee, especially with a knee flexion between 60° and 90° degrees. The main causal/worsening factors of PFPS symptoms are the knee translocation forward the toes (on the same body side) when flexing the knee, and the muscle imbalance between the thigh muscles.
