简要总结
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), also known as "runner’s knee," is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder causing pain around or behind the kneecap (patella). PFPS, often associated with athletes, is now being recognized among office workers, a demographic not typically at high risk for such conditions. The increasing prevalence of PFPS among sedentary populations suggests that factors beyond intense physical activity, such as overall lifestyle and physical activity level, may significantly impact its development . The understanding of the link between physical activity levels and the onset of PFPS in office workers is crucial for addressing this health issue in modern workplaces.
The study aims to identify the prevalence and associated risk factors of
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) among office workers with sedentary lifestyle. Sample size is 330 and study needs office workers with age group of 25-55 years.
