A member asked:
Is running bad for a patellar dislocation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: I have many patients with patella instability who run. The use of quad strengthening will help a patella instability issue. Also use of a patella stabilization sleeve will help somewhat. I would recommend running on level surfaces and avoid hills, stairs, and crouching.
