title: Rehabilitation of patellofemoral dysfunction in the athlete.
abstract: Patellofemoral dysfunction is a common but not yet well-managed condition affecting a large number of athletes. It is important to perform a thorough evaluation of these athletes including soft-tissue imbalances and faulty movement patterns. It is also important to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses each abnormal component to return the athlete to his or her previous activity.
