An observational study in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, sponsored by Ted Gunhamn. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-28.
Sponsored by Ted Gunhamn · Observational
This study aims to investigate the effect of training to muscular failure in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP). In a cross-sectional observational design, participants with PFP will be be performing a knee exercise to voluntarily muscular failure. The participants will throughout the exercise trial report pain levels and continue until 1) not being able to perform the exercise as instructed or 2) reaching a pain level of 5/10 (which is a common threshold for acceptable pain within rehabilitation). During this trial, the participants will be filmed and a biomechanical analysis will be performed to see if/how compensatory movements occur.
297 studies on the registry are indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome; 74 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 43 across 48 observational studies indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome by health care provider.
Other: EXERCISE TRAINING WITH OR WITHOUT MEDICATION
Healthy adults without injuries/diseases preventing the participants from performing the trial to voluntary muscular failure
Other: EXERCISE TRAINING WITH OR WITHOUT MEDICATION
Resistance training to muscular failure in patients with patellofemoral pain.
Pain Response
Numeric pain rating scale 0-10. Participants will rate their perceived pain at baseline before the trial, during the trial and the day after the trial.
Time frame: Approximately 24 hours, from baseline before the trial and the day after the trial.
Knee extensor moment (Nm)
Will be measured using force plates and a 3d camera biomechanic analysis system (qualisys)
Time frame: Changes in knee extensor moment between the first and final repetition during the trial, approximately 2 minutes.
Hip extensor moment (Nm)
Will be measured using force plates and a 3d camera biomechanic analysis system (qualisys)
Time frame: Changes in hip extensor moment between the first and final repetition during the trial, approximately 2 minutes.
Knee flexion angle (degrees)
Knee flexion angle will be measured using a 3d camera biomechanical analysis system (qualisys)
Time frame: Changes between in knee flexion angle between the first and final repetition during the trial, approximately 2 minutes.
Hip flexion angle (degress)
Hip flexion angle will be measured using a 3d camera biomechanical analysis system (qualisys)
Time frame: Changes between in hip flexion angle between the first and final repetition during the trial, approximately 2 minutes.
