Patients received 4 treatments: local treatment focusing on quadriceps strengthening, quadriceps stretching, and taping for fortnight 1, supplemented with individualized global treatment focusing on lower limb posture and movement patterns for fortnight 2, followed by ongoing self-management. Seven outcome measures, assessed at 4 time points, were quadriceps strength, quadriceps length, eccentric knee control, and 4 pain measures. Long-term measures included return to sporting activity, pain recurrence, exercise compliance, and Kujala score. Improvements after fortnight 1 (P < 0.001) and fortnight 2 (P < 0.05) were maintained over 3 years for 6 of 7 measures. On testing, 73% were pain free and the remaining 27% had less p...Continue Reading
