First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an online education tool is a practical option for people with patellofemoral pain (knee pain) who are waiting for physiotherapy. Researchers will recruit 40 adults aged 18-44 and see if they can complete the online modules and questionnaires. The goal is to find out if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
