ABSTRACT
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) has been attracting more and more attention in the field of rehabilitation treatment due to its high incidence rate and low cure rate. Researches show that the abnormal anatomy, muscle activity changes due to pain and insufficient muscle strength in patients with PFPS can cause wrong movement patterns of lower limb joints, which will lead to aggravation of the disease and is not conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. Movement patterns of the hip, knee, ankle joints can be improved by exercise therapy, taping, neuromuscular training and joint orthosis, thus to reduce the pain. In this paper, the movement pattern characteristics of patients with PFPS and the corresponding rehabilitation treatment method were summarized, so as to provide references for the rehabilitation of PFPS.
