A member asked:
Does quadriceps strength has any relation with patella femoral pain? i got this pain after menisectomy. could you please help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Relative weakness of the quads can lead to patellar instability and patellofemoral pain.Strengthening of the quads isometrically( SLR's) can be very helpful. Did you have any' softening' of the patellar cartilage @ arthroscopy?( chondromalacia).Best of Luck!
