Summary

This study will use ultrasound to examine two specific thigh muscles in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (front knee pain) and compare them to healthy individuals. Researchers aim to better understand how these muscles differ in people with knee pain, which could lead to more targeted physical therapy. The study will involve 40 participants aged 18 to 65.
