Summary
Despite the burden of patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis (PFJ OA), there is a paucity of evidence for conservative treatments. This project aims to determine the functional features of PFJ OA and develop a clinical tool to enable identification of features associated with PFJ OA. A randomised controlled trial will then be conducted utilising a foot orthoses intervention to determine whether foot orthoses improve function and pain in people with PFJ OA.
