Take home points from new Clinical Practice Guideline, published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
people with kneecap pain should engage in exercise-therapy, namely hip & knee strengthening
An exercise program that gradually increases activities such as running, exercise classes, sports, or walking, is the best way to prevent kneecap pain
Risk of kneecap pain can be reduced through improved leg strength, particularly the thigh muscles
Pain does not necessarily equate to knee damage
