The effect of an individualised functional retraining intervention on pain, function and biomechanics in participants with patellofemoral pain: a series of n of 1 trial.

ABSTRACT: [Purpose] To determine the effect of an individualised functional retraining intervention on pain, function, kinematics and self-reported recovery in participants with PFP. [Participants and Methods] Thirty-one participants with unilateral PFP between the ages of 14-40 were included. Data collection and treatment sessions were conducted at the Tygerberg 3D Motion Analysis Laboratory and Physiotherapy Clinic at the University of Stellenbosch Medical School in Cape Town, South Africa. Participants underwent motion analysis testing pre- and post-intervention and attended physiotherapy weekly for a 6-week individualised intervention. [Results] Thirty of the thirty-one participants (96.8%) demonstrated improved pain levels (NPRS) post intervention. Participants demonstrated a statistically sign
