Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Symptoms

9. Muscle Weakness
The muscles in our thighs are among the largest and strongest of all in our bodies. This makes sense as, after all, they are responsible for allowing us to walk and run upright despite the weight of our upper body. As with other muscles, they will begin to grow weaker the less they are used.
Somebody with patellofemoral syndrome is understandably going to be less active than they otherwise would be. This would mean that well developed muscles will soon begin to weaken. If the condition is successfully treated, then the patient should be able to regain the strength they lost.
