Study type | Interventional |
Subjects between 14 and 40 years of age referred to physical therapy with a diagnosis of PFPS will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group (PFPS) will be treated pragmatically. The second group (PFPS+DN) will receive the same pragmatic approach with the addition of dry needling intervention. The dry needling intervention will be delivered based on the treating physical therapist's examination of the patient's soft tissue mobility deficits, muscle activation deficits, or referred pain patterns.
