A Controlled Trial on Recreational Runners With Patellofemoral Pain

Education on running training modifications depending on symptoms (decrease running speed, spread running volume throughout the week, run/walk intervals, avoid downhill and stairs running). Education about symptoms will also be provided.

A home-based program including strengthening and motor control exercises will be prescribed. The program will include 4 different phases of 2 weeks.

Running gait will be modified to reduce knee loading while running (step frequency, impact, foot strike pattern).
