Differences in quadriceps but not hamstrings strength in runners with varying durations of patellofemoral pain

Quadriceps strength varied across stages of PFP, with individuals in the short-term group showing weaker strength than the healthy, while those in the long-term group exhibited strength comparable to the healthy. Runners with different durations of PFP demonstrate little difference in hamstring strength, H/Q ratio, and muscle symmetry from healthy.

Abstract

Quadriceps strength varied across stages of PFP, with individuals in the short-term group showing weaker strength than the healthy, while those in the long-term group exhibited strength comparable to the healthy. Runners with different durations of PFP demonstrate little difference in hamstring strength, H/Q ratio, and muscle symmetry from healthy.
