The knee joint is a complex synovial joint of body that gets involved in about 50% musculoskeletal injuries and dysfunctions of which patellofemoral joint is involved in majorities of injuries and dysfunctions related to knee joint. An important measure of alignment of patellofemoral joint is quadriceps angle or Q angle. Increase in Q angle beyond normal range increases lateral pull of quadriceps muscle on patella causing extensor mechanism misalignment potentiating patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) which is also known as anterior knee pain syndrome. This study attempted to evaluate how...
