Yoga Therapy for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome | Chapter 4 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is one of the conditions frequently encountered by musculoskeletal physiotherapists. PFPS is an umbrella term, which indicates that destruction has exceeded the articular cartilage. One of the most common causes of patellofemoral joint pathology is abnormal patellar tracking, often associated with patellar malalignment. This can occur as a result of different muscular imbalances including weakness of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), tight iliotibial band, weakness of hip abductors and external rotators, tightness of gastrosoleus and hamstring, and an increased Quadriceps-angle (Q-angle). Closed kinematic chain exercises are always an effective way to recruit all these weakened muscles simultaneously. Yoga therapy is an ancient Indian science and way of life which focuses on the root cause of diseases. Many asanas in yoga mainly involve the use of closed chain kinematic exercises. Hence, this article provides an overview and gives a proper protocol for the use of yoga therapy in the management of PFPS.
