Abstract
|
|
|
|
Until the up to day, we have known that a tight iliotibial tract has an influence on the patella, pulling it laterally and causing pain in patients with patellofemoral syndrome, so should be stretched as a part of physical therapy. But the iliotibial tract´s function on the patella in subjects with PFS has not yet been proved and further questions need to be answered regarding the evaluation or treatment of a tight tract in patients with PFS.
