Prevalence of femoral nerve neurodynamic disorder in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome: a cross-sectional study

More than one-quarter of PFPS patients exhibited increased mechanosensitivity of the femoral nerve, indicating a notable prevalence of neurodynamic disorders within this population. Nevertheless, the cross-sectional design and use of convenience sampling may limit the generalizability of these findings. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating neurodynamic assessments into the clinical evaluation of PFPS patients to facilitate more effective management.
