Purpose: The aim of this study is to figure out how does the selection of lower-extremity biomechanical variables presented by dynamic knee valgus, tibial torsion and navicular drop may influence pain, disability, and balance in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: Sixty-five women with patellofemoral pain syndrome will be evaluated for lower limb biomechanical variables.
