Additional Effects of an Individualized Risk Factor–Based Approach on Pain and the Function of Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions: Assessment and modification of the risk factors may add to the treatment effects on pain and function at a 12-week follow-up in patients with PFPS. These findings may lead to a more comprehensive clinical approach to this very common problem. Clinical Relevance: It seems that incorporating risk factor assessment into our clinical practice may add to treatment effects with regard to pain and function in patients with PFPS.
