Patellofemoral pain syndrome is due to dysfunctional dynamic knee valgus resulting from decrease in strength of hip abductors or abnormal rear-foot eversion with pes pronatus valgus. It is also associated with vastus medialis/vastus lateralis disbalance, hamstring tightness or iliotibial tract tightness.
