Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), also known as "runner's knee," is a condition characterized by pain around or behind the kneecap (patella). It commonly occurs in individuals who engage in activities that involve repetitive knee movements. PFPS is often caused by imbalances in muscle strength, poor alignment (patella tracking), or overuse of the knee joint.
