Knee pain may mess with your Joint's sense of position
NCT ID NCT07642011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how knee pain intensity relates to the knee's ability to sense its own position (proprioception) in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Researchers will measure pain and joint position error during a single-leg squat in 82 adults aged 18–35. The goal is to better understand the link between pain and movement control, which could guide future rehabilitation.
