A member asked:
Can patella femoral syndrome be caused by jumping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no.: Jumping can do it. Patellar mistracking can do it. Hypermobility can do it. Cycling with to short a seat can do it. There are many causes I have not mentioned. And finally, any combination of factors make it more likely.
