Patellofemoral pain CPG: 6 factors to consider for better diagnosis, with Dr Christian Barton (Part 1 of 2)
Dr Christian Barton joins Drs Dan Chapman and Chelsea Cooman to dive into the patellofemoral pain CPG published in JOSPT in April 2019. In the first episode of this 2-part series, we hit the highlights of this extensive CPG, including the true definition of patellofemoral pain syndrome, as well as the 4 categories of impairments the CPG lays out to allow for a simplified diagnosis. Dr Barton makes the case for looking beyond the research—widening the clinical lens for better diagnosis and better musculoskeletal care.
