PATELLO
FEMORAL SYNDROME
(Knee
Pain)
Patello-femoral
knee pain is simply a term used to describe general knee pain felt
between the patella (knee cap) and the femur (thigh bone). This
condition can effect anyone at any age but is most commonly seen in
adolescent girls.
Patello-femoral
syndrome is one of the most common causes of knee pain in runners.
The pain is usually located in the front part of the knee but may be
on the inside, outside or vaguely located. The patient complains of
either sharp or dull pain, that is often made worse by sporting
activities or simply walking down stairs or getting out of a chair.
Also, sometimes there is slight swelling and the knee makes a
clicking or grinding noise.
There are many
predisposing factors that contribute to knee pain, such as: muscle
weakness; muscle tightness and excessive walking over rough ground
but the main cause of this condition is believed to be due to
biomechanical dysfunction. Excessive pronation (the feet become
misaligned and combined with poor posture roll inwards to gain ground
contact, the arches become flattened) can change the rotation in the
lower leg and subsequently alter the tracking position of the patella
(knee cap). This will lead to uneven wearing of the cartilage,
resulting in pain and inflammation under and about the knee cap.
Treatment of
this condition initially involves rest, ice therapy,
anti-inflammatory medications and taping. Soft tissue therapy and
stretching and strengthening exercises will help loosen the tight
structures. In conjunction to these treatments, if the lower leg is
abnormally rotated, then it is important to treat the associated
excessive pronation. Sports control orthotics are the most effective
means of treating this condition.
