Research: Hip Exercise Prescription & Knee Pain

Synthesis of the literature exploring the effects and mechanisms for hip focused rehabilitation exercise in individuals with front of knee pain.

Proximal muscle rehabilitation is effective for patellofemoral pain: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Proximal muscle rehabilitation is commonly prescribed to address muscle strength and function deficits in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP). This review (1) evaluates the efficacy of proximal musculature rehabilitation for patients with PFP; (2) compares the efficacy of various rehabilitation protocols; and (3) identifies potential biomechanical mechanisms of effect in order to optimise outcomes from proximal rehabilitation in this problematic patient group.
