Patellofemoral exerc: This is a nice guide with pictures that i printed off for a friend in the past: http://www.Permanente.Net/homepage/kaiser/pdf/6946.Pdf ..... Patella maltracking causes patellofemoral syndrome, so exercises for patellofemoral syndrome would be helpful for patella maltracking (for your internet searching leisure).

Core Exercise: Maltracking has different meanings to different doctors and patients ranging from dynamic to structural. Therefore, at this point a more general term to use is "anterior knee pain". It is important to have a specific diagnosis from an expert, so treatment can be optimized. There are some basic exercises to start at the patellofemoral foundation web site: http://www.Patellofemoral.Org/exercises.Htm.

I have had xrays on my left knee to see what is wrong with it due to it being swollen and hurting back in July. I was diagnosed with have patella in both knees. After physical therapy, my swelling went down - but now its back when I am moving a lot. It doesnt hurt but there is a lot of fluid on the knee and it seems to go away when I work out. But swells when Im doing daily activities: walking, etc. wondering if I need to go back to the doctor or continue PT exercises Swollen Left Knee?
