I have a patient with anterior knee pain. He has pain walking up stairs, and when carrying his golf bag during a round. Also had pain on patella compression. His patella also tracked laterally on palpation.
His hamstrings were very tight but this has now resolved after prescribing hamstring stretches. I have also prescribed quad strengthening with VMO bias. He has done this for around 5 weeks and his pain has only decreased by half. I have also tried patella taping and lateral taping to offload lateral structures. and also soft tissue work to release his lateral structures.
He still has some pain 1 month on. could the pain left just be used to OA and now he just needs general quad exercises? or am i missing something?
