Understanding Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee condition marked by pain around the kneecap (patella). Known colloquially as runner’s knee or jumper’s knee, it frequently affects individuals participating in activities involving repetitive knee bending, running, or jumping. PFPS occurs when the patella fails to move smoothly over the femur (thigh bone) during knee movement, leading to irritation and inflammation of surrounding tissues, resulting in discomfort and pain.
Understanding the Causes of PFPS
Overuse
PFPS often occurs in athletes or individuals engaging in repetitive activities like running or jumping, leading to irritation and inflammation of knee tissues.
Muscle Imbalances
Weak or tight muscles around the knee, such as the quadriceps and hamstrings, can disrupt patellar movement, contributing to PFPS.
Poor Biomechanics
Abnormalities in lower limb alignment, such as hip rotation or foot issues, may disrupt knee function and increase PFPS risk.
Trauma
Previous knee injuries like ligament sprains may alter joint mechanics, increasing susceptibility to PFPS.
Other Factors
Obesity, age-related joint changes, and genetic factors may also influence PFPS development.
