Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • diagnosis: anterior knee pain
  • Prescription for physiotherapeutic treatment of anterior knee pain
  • signs of functional hip impairment:

Exclusion

  • intraarticular knee pathology
  • preceding trauma/operation of lower extremity on affected side
  • spinal disorders associated with low back pain, lumbar referred pain or nerve root irritation
  • severe and/or recurring ankle sprains in recent history (significant enough, that it required a period of immobilization)
