Patellofemoral disorders - what does this mean
Patellofemoral disorders are caused by an imbalance of forces that normally act on the kneecap (patella). this imbalance can be due to weakened thigh muscles, poor biomechanics of the knee joint, or a combination of these factors. it can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty with activities such as walking, running, and climbing stairs.
What happens during the disease - patellofemoral disorders
Patellofemoral disorders are caused by a number of factors, including biomechanical imbalances, muscle weakness or tightness, and overuse. poor alignment of the knee joint, hip muscles, and lower leg muscles can lead to an abnormal tracking of the kneecap, resulting in pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion. muscle imbalances can cause the kneecap to become misaligned, leading to increased stress on the patellofemoral joint and further pain and instability. improper form during physical activities can also contribute to the development of patellofemoral disorders.
