“…A presença de dor afeta a realização de atividades funcionais dos pacientes com SFP (3,18) . Desta forma, a efetividade dos tratamentos pode estar relacionada com a diminuição da dor, o que foi obtido neste estudo após a realização do alongamento dos três grupos musculares, já que esse sintoma promove limitações funcionais.…”

“…The patellofemoral syndrome (PFS) is characterized by perior retropatellar pain (1) , and affects athletes and non-athletes, representing a common knee problem for physically active teenagers and young adults (2) . Although not clearly established, its etiology may be correlated to several factors leading to patellar misalignment, such as an increased Q angle, high or low patella, excessive subtalar pronation, tibial lateral rotation, femoral anteversion, valgus or varus knees, and lateral retinaculum, ischiotibial and iliotibial tract muscles' shortening (1,3) . Currently, diagnosis is given based on clinical examination made by experienced professionals, including physical therapists, considering that a detailed evaluation is critical for suggesting future interventions (3,4) .…”

“…Although not clearly established, its etiology may be correlated to several factors leading to patellar misalignment, such as an increased Q angle, high or low patella, excessive subtalar pronation, tibial lateral rotation, femoral anteversion, valgus or varus knees, and lateral retinaculum, ischiotibial and iliotibial tract muscles' shortening (1,3) . Currently, diagnosis is given based on clinical examination made by experienced professionals, including physical therapists, considering that a detailed evaluation is critical for suggesting future interventions (3,4) . Patients with PFS present with anterior or retropatellar diffuse pain that is exacerbated by activities such as climbing up and down stairs, remaining at sitting position for long periods of time, squatting or kneeling, in which there are increased compressive forces on patellofemoral joint.…”

“…The patient is usually young and active and suffers from retropatellar and peripatellar pain resultant from sitting for prolonged periods, squatting, kneeling, walking up and down stairs. These activities increase patellofemoral compressive forces enhancing pain in these patients [34]. Pain is proportional to the activity being carried out and is particularly evident while walking down stairs and squatting.…”

“…There is a commonly accepted concept that conservative rehabilitation induces relief of symptoms for patients with PFS [34]. Rehabilitation aims to restore the normal coordination of muscle activity, specially during functional movements, using strengthening of the dynamic stabilizers of the patellofemoral joint and stretching of the shorten muscles.…”
