Quantitative assessment of patellofemoral osteoarthritis via the pressure band test: an innovative and objective test
PBT demonstrated significant potential as a valuable tool for the quantitative assessment of PFOA severity. This noninvasive and costeffective method may enhance diagnostic precision and be productively incorporated into routine clinical assessments. However, further research is necessary to validate these findings, clarify the long-term benefits, and evaluate the limitations of PBT in a diversity of clinical settings.
