“…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) . Our findings are in line with those of research by Youssef et al (29) that found that young, active medical students at Cairo University were more likely to experience PFP in females than males .…”

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.

Purpose: Anterior knee pain begins when the kneecap does not move freely and bumps into the bottom portion of the thigh bone. This can be the result of the patellofemoral joint being out of alignment or the kneecap being in an abnormal position. The muscles on the front and back of your thigh are tight or weak. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the term used to describe a common knee condition that causes pain in the front of the knee, near the patellofemoral joint. To determine the prevalence and functional limitations associated with anterior knee pain among female. Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in the district Gujranwala. The sample size was 237. General female population of age 20 to 40 was included in this study. Convenient sampling technique was used. A Kujala scores (anterior knee pain scale) was used for data collection. The total scores of the questionnaire were 100. Participants with score less than 84 were positive anterior knee pain and those who had score more than 84 were negative anterior knee pain results. Findings: Results shows that out of 237 participants 42 female with percentage 17.7% having positive results of ANP (anterior knee pain) and 195 females with percentage 82.3% have negative results of ANP. Conclusion: This survey concluded that the 17.7% of the subjects were positive for ANP according to ANPQ. It was more common in young females. The daily physical activities are impacted by ANP. The majority of respondents who received positive scores struggled with knee flexion and experienced pain that affected their overall performance.

Although there are several etiologies for patellofemoral pain syndrome, prolonged sitting is one of the less well-understood causes. Recently, there has been some discussion about the alignment problems. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the alignment issues that may arise because of extended sitting. Teachers are among the members of the population who may be forced to such long periods of sitting. In this manner, it may benefit teachers and the whole community. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine the association of patellofemoral syndrome with duration of sitting among teachers. METHODS: This was a Cross-Sectional Study conducted among 278 male 104 (37.4%) and female 174 ( university teachers having an age range of 25 to 50 years, spending an average of 4 hours in sitting 62.6%) position and having pain were included in the study, based on convenience sampling technique. Data was collected after taking ethical approval from The University of Lahore by using the SNAPPS (survey instrument for natural history, etiology, and prevalence of patellofemoral pain studies) Questionnaire. SPSS 25 was used to analyze data. RESULTS: The descriptive statistics showed a mean and standard deviation to be 30.81±4.08 for age, 5.39±1.09 for the sitting duration, 5.233±2.81 for teaching experience, and 22.28±11.48 for patellofemoral pain syndrome. The results showed that there were 12.6% of teachers with no chances of patellofemoral pain syndrome at the time of data collection, 11.5% with minimal chances, 73% had borderline and 2.9% having early symptoms of PFPS. The results regarding association of PFPS and sitting duration per day showed a significant direction association as shown by p-value 0.01. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that there was a significant association between number of sitting hours and patellofemoral pain syndrome among teachers. Most prolonged sitters are at more risk for developing patellofemoral pain syndrome. There were no teachers in the advance stage of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
