简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determined if a lower back treatment would change the hip and knee muscle activities in people with and without anterior knee pain. The investigators hypothesized that the lower back treatment may change the hip and knee muscle activities in people with anterior knee pain but not in people without anterior knee pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Electromyography (EMG)
时间窗: The EMG data will be collected within 48 hours for all participants in both groups. On Day 1, data will be collected twice at baseline. On Day 2, data will be collected before and immediately after as well as 15, 30, and 45 min after the intervention.
Electromyography (EMG) onset time of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, vastus medialis oblique, and vastus lateralis muscles.
次要结局
- Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(The Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be assessed before and 45 min after the lower back treatment (lumbopelvic manipulation) for participants in the patellofemoral pain syndrome group on Day 2 only.)
