Abstract

Purpose of Review

Anterior knee pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint among people of all ages and activity levels. Non-operative approaches with an emphasis on physical therapy management are the recommended initial course of care. The purpose of this review is to describe the current evidence for physical therapist management of anterior knee pain with consideration of biomechanical and psychosocial factors.

Recent Findings

The latest research suggests anterior knee pain is a combination of biomechanical, neuromuscular, behavioral, and psychological factors. Education strategies to improve the patient’s understanding of the condition and manage pain are supported by research. Strong evidence continues to support the primary role of exercise therapy and load progression to achieve long-term improvements in pain and function. Preliminary studies suggest blood flow restriction therapy and movement retraining may be useful adjunct techniques but require further well-designed studies.

Summary

Anterior knee pain includes multiple conditions with patellofemoral pain being the most common. An insidious onset is typical and often attributed to changes in activity and underlying neuromuscular impairments. A thorough clinical history and physical examination aim to identify the patient’s pain beliefs and behaviors, movement faults, and muscle performance that will guide treatment recommendations. Successful physical therapist management involves a combination of individualized patient education, pain management, and load control and progression, with an emphasis on exercise therapy.

Br J Sports Med. 2018;52(18):1170–8. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2018-099397This concensus statement was developed by an international group of scientist and clinicians to develop best practice methods. Evidence-based recommendations support exercise therapy (i.e., combined hip and/or knee exercises), combined interventions (exercises and foot orthoses, patellar taping, or manual therapy), and foot orthoses. Joint mobilization and electrophysical agents were not recommended, and the effects of patellar taping/bracing, acupuncture/dry nedling, soft tissue mobilization, blood flow restriction therapy, and gait training were uncertain.CrossRefPubMed

J Clin Med. 2020;9(7). https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm9072044This systematic review and meta-analysis identified 6 randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of trigger point dry needling in persons with anterior knee pain. A moderate short-term improvement in pain and disability was found in persons with patellofemoral pain when trigger point dry needling was performed; and, in 5 out of 6 trials, dry needling was performed in conjunction with manual therapy or exercise interventions.

J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2018;48(1):19–31. https://doi.org/10.2519/jospt.2018.7365This systematic review and meta-analysis identified 14 randomized and/or controlled trials of strengthening interventions targeting the hip and knee musculature in individuals with patellofemoral pain. The purpose was to compare combined hip and knee strengthening with (1) a control group and (2) with knee strengthening alone. Combined hip and knee strengthening reduced pain and increased activity levels compared to no training/control. In addition, combined hip and knee strengthening was more efficacious than knee strengthening alone in decreasing pain and improving activity, during and after the period of intervention. There were no significant changes in strength in any of the intervention groups.CrossRefPubMed

Br J Sports Med. 2018;52(6):385. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2017-097547This systematic review investigated the completeness of therapeutic exercise prescription and dosage for patellofemoral pain in 38 randomized controlled trials. The authors concluded that detailed exercise prescriptions are infrequently reported, which is a barrier to replication of successful interventions in both clinical practice and research. Future investigations should consider using strict guidelines to design, implement, and report the results of therapeutic exercise interventions for patellofemoral pain to facilitate improved implementation and effectiveness.CrossRefPubMed
