title: Rehabilitation of the patellofemoral joint.
abstract: Nonsurgical care by a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation is typically a multifaceted approach, which can include modalities, bracing, medication, injection, proprioceptive techniques, restoration of normal movement patterns, and overall conditioning. There is evidence that physical therapy interventions have significant beneficial effect on pain and function compared with no treatment.
