Effect of physiotherapy interventions on pain management, function and quality of life in patellofemoral pain syndrome: A systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a prevalent and often debilitating condition, affecting approximately 22.7% of the population and significantly contributing to knee-related disorders. It primarily impacts young athletes and sedentary individuals, impairing their quality of life and functional abilities. Despite extensive research, the optimal management strategies for PFPS remain contentious due to its multifactorial etiology and persistent symptoms. The findings of this review will guide clinical practice and future research, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals with PFPS.

Objective

This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in alleviating pain, enhancing functional outcomes, and improving the quality
