The effect of a structured supervised exercise program on the functional outcome of patients with patellofemoral-pain syndrome (PFPS) is determined. Results show that a structured progressive exercise program reduce pain and improve function in subjects with PFPS and that a minimum of 5 visits for therapy is enough to reduce pain and improve function in patients with PFPS.
