Do people with #PFP have different biomechanics during walking & running compared to pain-free people? Do altered biomechanics cause #PFP? Check out our new systematic review in @SportsMedicineJ!
Our results might surprise you. A summary follows 🧵1/10

Almost 30,000 studies reviewed!
✅55 studies included: 1,300 PFP, 1,393 pain-free
✅Walking & running
✅Spatiotemoral, kinematic, & kinetic characteristics
✅Subgrouped across sex & task
❌No strong evidence available (very limited-moderate)

People with PFP have altered spatiotemporal characteristics:
⬇️Gait velocity
⬇️Cadence
⬇️Stride length
Future research:
Could spatiotemporal characteristics be used to measure treatment effectiveness?
Is reduced velocity an important variable to measure progression to OA?
