Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Subjects will be assessed for previous history of Patellofemoral pain syndrome and will be randomised into 2 groups: Previously Injured Group and Uninjured group. Subjects will be informed of the purpose of the study and to read and signed an informed consent form. A Functional questionnaire and self made questionnaire must be filled by the subjects prior to testing. At the end of the study a prediction equation will be derived based on the statistical analysis to predict risk factors of developing patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
