Patellofemoral pain and instability are not just problems of the knee. Research over the past two decades has revealed the important role of the entire kinetic chain, including the hip, trunk, and core, in controlling patellar movement and supporting healthier knees.
This educational video explores how advances in biomechanics, proprioception, neuromuscular control, and core stability have changed the way we understand and treat patellofemoral conditions. By examining the connection between movement patterns, injury risk, and whole-body function, this research has helped shape a more comprehensive approach to reducing knee pain, improving patellofemoral stability, and promoting lifelong active health.
