What is it about?
This article investigated women with patellofemoral pain (anterior knee pain) psychological factors such as kinesiophobia and catastrophic pain and objective function. We asked the women to perform functional activities such as descending stairs, hopping and keeping balance. We also asked them to complete two questionnaires about their fear and bad thoughts about their condition.
