Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) can be considered as a
clinical entity evolving during adolescence and young adult
age.Though the complaints may be self-limiting and follow a
benign course there are claims that exercise therapy may be
beneficial for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The aim of this thesis is to study the clinical effects and costeffectiveness
of exercise therapy for patellofemoral pain
syndrome. In this thesis the results of a clinical trial on exercise
therapy for PFPS as well as the results of a systematic literature
review are presented. Furthermore the effectiveness of exercise
therapy is studied in relation to other conservative strategies.
Additional to these studies data are presented concerning the
current strategies for PFPS and for other non-traumatic knee
complaints in general practice.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/32107/120411_Linschoten%2C%20Robbart%20van.pdf
