What is Runner's Knee? 

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome or Chondromalacia PatellaRunners Knee Myrtle Bank

  • Do you feel knee pain while participating in sport or running activities?
  • Do your knees feel sore when walking up or down stairs? 
  • Does sitting for extended periods with bent knees cause aching? 

At SA Running Injury Clinic, Runner’s Knee — also referred to as Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome or Chondromalacia Patella — is a commonly assessed running-related knee condition. The patella, commonly known as the kneecap, is located at the front of the knee joint.

Runner’s Knee may involve irritation around the kneecap associated with altered movement patterns of the patella. This may contribute to irritation around the surrounding knee structures.

A range of biomechanical and activity-related factors may contribute to these symptoms, including:

  • Reduced strength in the inner thigh, hip, and gluteal muscles
  • Restricted flexibility in the calf, hamstring, and outer thigh muscles
  • Feet that roll inward excessively (pronation)
  • Previous injury involving the lower back or pelvis
  • Worn or poorly matched running shoes
  • Running technique and movement pattern concerns
  • High volumes of hill or stair training
