Knee pain and balance during single leg squat
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how knee pain affects balance (proprioception) during a single-leg squat in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap). It may help understand how to better treat this condition.
