Clinical Trial: Influence of Training Surface and Mechanical Load on the Prevalence of Patellofemoral Pain in Recreational Runners

U.S., Feb. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07408700) titled 'Influence of Training Surface and Mechanical Load on the Prevalence of Patellofemoral Pain in Recreational Runners' on Feb. 06.

Brief Summary: Background. Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common causes of knee pain in recreational runners and is exacerbated by activities that load the patellofemoral joint. Although biomechanical differences between running surfaces and elevation profiles have been documented, the influence of terrain type and training load on PFP in non-professional runners remains poorly defined.

Objective. To examine the association between predominant training terrain and the presence of PFP in non-p...
