Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is referred to as peripatellar or retro-patellar pain, which is characterized by alterations in the physical and biomechanical features of the patellofemoral joint. Risk factors for PFPS include: anatomic anomalies, mal-alignment and altered biomechanics of the lower extremity, muscle dysfunction, patellar hypermobility, poor quadriceps, or iliotibial band flexibility, surgery, tight lateral structures, training errors or overuse and trauma. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of foot mobilization with and without agility training on pain, balance and functional performance in patellofemoral pain syndrome.
