Effects of a prophylactic knee bracing on patellofemoral loading during cycling

ConclusionsThe findings from the current investigation, therefore, indicate that prophylactic knee bracing may have the potential to attenuate the risk from the biomechanical parameters linked to the aetiology of patellofemoral pain in cyclists. Future, longitudinal analyses are required to confirm the efficacy of prophylactic knee braces for the attenuation of patellofemoral pain symptoms in cyclists.
