This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

We would like to thank the conference participants for their discussion regarding the clinical and theoretical implications of our research. The etiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP) continues to be poorly understood, making effective treatment a difficult task for the physical therapist. Although there have been many hypotheses proposed as to the cause of PFP, objective data supporting many of these theories are lacking. We agree with the conference members that the ability to subclassify patients with PFP based on objective findings would assist in guiding rehabilitation efforts. At the present time, however, there is no such classification system that has been shown to be based on valid and reliable measurements. Until the mechanism(s) of PFP can be better defined and identified clinically, the rationale behind the various treatment protocols used to treat patients who have this disorder will remain debatable and guided mostly by clinical experience and observation.
