I was once diagnosed with chondromalacia patallae, caused not by misaligned tracking of the knee cap but by "lazy" (slow) tracking, due to misfiring of the quads caused by a "slack" rectus femoris; at least that's how the physiotherapist explained it to me. The doc felt the roughness under the knee cap by rubbing it firmly from side to side while my leg was flat on the table. Luckily for me, I was pain-free in about week after doing straight leg raises with a few pounds strapped to my foot. Prior to being told about the leg raises, another physio diagnosed patella tendonitis (the pain is usually in the same area) and told me to rest, ice and stretch, but that treatment did nothing after a month. I could be wrong on the following, but: I suspect it's better doing the leg raises while lying down; in other words, starting with the leg lined up with the upper body prior to raising it. Either that, or standing and kicking out from a weighted wall pulley that's close to the floor. I guess that doing the movement this way doesn't tighten the hip flexors too much, whereas standing and kicking up passed 90 degrees might, due to the extra hip flexion. My injury occurred about 25 years ago, and sneaks back in minor way every few years, at which time it quickly goes away after doing the leg raises again. Yes, I probably should do them all the time, but, well, you know...life sometimes gets in the way. :-) In my humble, uneducated opinion, the "regular" chondromalacia that I had gets overlooked too often in favour of misalignment (PTFS), and I'm not sure why.

Many thanks for your informative and entertaining set of videos. A doctor referred me to an NHS physio who got me standing on the leg with the bad knee with my eyes closed - didn't work! Then I went to a chiropractor who wanted me to have expensive treatment for 6 months. All this took over a year. I have tried your test, exercises and taping method and my knee has stopped aching in 3 weeks. I am so grateful, and If any pain does return I now have plenty of tape which I ordered on Amazon.

Thank-you very much. I have a bit too much fat around the knee, so taping it wouldn't work - so I tried another approach with a patella knee strap but with a tightly rolled wad of paper towels (about 1" in diameter) stuffed between the strap and knee on the outer side of the knee cap. This shifted the knee cap over to the inside and solved the problem 100% walking downstairs. The pain didn't go away totally as you say, but it's not nearly as bad. I then pulled a knee compression sleeve over the entire knee to keep the knee strap in place.

I'm a tour guide in NYC so walking & stair climbing is my livelihood. I must COMPLETELY recover. I've watched every video. But my therapist gave me no further instructions. He taught me how to walk UP stairs in 6 weeks. YAY! But what about the other part? LOL Never got to the down stair therapy session. WTH?!!! After continuing my daily exercises, devoted!!! 2hr sessions. I desperately knew something was missing in my rehab. I'm up at 4,5,6am watching videos for answers & solutions. & HOT DOGGIT I knew i could count on my boo thangs * Bob & Brad* to get me together! They're not the most famous therapists on the internet , for nothing!!!! I believe after I try this tape thingy, I'll be on my way too 100% The injury happened 6months ago. As of now, 24 weeks post injury ( no surgery BTW)Now I can do everything , pain free , even sit in a low sofaseat for hours due to my diligent exercises and drills and TENS machine daily. Thank the Lord!!! But I still can't run -at all, go down stairs, and only dance I can do is electric slide. Basic. BUMMER! I'm a trained dancer, and fierce Lindy hopper. I won't try any stunts or any acrobats but I would like to at least dance like a sexy momma in the dance floor, again :-). Also, I see incline walking is needed, as well, to stop my knee from free falling with i step on the decline. I wish i could get a facetime with you guys. You rock!

However, how do we know which way the knee cap is actually misaligned? Mine feels like its jutted more on the medial side but I'm hesitant to tape it as I'm just not sure.

Would be good to consider/discuss that we don´t always move/bend our legs in the "perfect scenario", i.e straight line and to the front (which would provide perfect tracking of the patella, in theory at least). Consider soccer movements: tons of out of balance, multiple direction, one leg stands, through a game. Anyway, to anyone reading: stretch calves, hips, hamstrings, quads, ankles and focus on glutes strenght (main culprit, consider how much time we spend sitting).

This is an interesting video, and I'd like to try this test, BUT... my kneecaps DO NOT MOVE! This is about the 12th video I've seen today, since I started researching the pain that started today, and in several videos, I watched kneecaps being moved side to side and up and down, and mine just don't do that. In fact, I can't detect any movement AT ALL. The only thing I can detect is my skin moving a little. I don't know if this is a bad thing or not, but watching this guy's patella move the way it did, blew my mind! He and I might as well be a different species! Either that or I've got some freaky knees, if his are normal! On REAL close inspection, and by pushing REALLY HARD, my kneecaps move about 1/4 of an inch. That's it. If this pain persists until tomorrow, I'll have to see a Doctor.

Thank you for this... my knee got injured while doing jump and lunges combo.. it's been 20 days.. I have problem in bending and straightening knee...after prolonged standing or sitting( prolonged means 15 mins here). Doctor prescribed me some muscle relaxant but I didn't get better. Do I need to have x-ray done?

I wish I had found this years ago. I've spent 10 years going to Garey Ortho being told nothing was wrong. Last year I finally got an MRI and now it's stage IV chondromalacia and I need a knee replacement. I'm taking now.

ive just learnt about chondromalacia, ive had bad knees for so long, I played football since I was 6 and never had any serious injuries, as I go to around 14-16 I started getting a little pain, now im 20 and I can't walk down steep hills, when I walk on flat ground I walk with a limp because as soon as I start to straighten my leg, it locks up from the muscles around it contracting to protect it, I can't sit cross legged from more than 5 minutes without being in an agonising dull ache in and around my knee cap, I remember getting home from a game I played and I was about 15, and my dad had to carry me up the stairs because I was in tears from so much pain trying to walk up them, wish I could get it healed and get back to playing

Been looking for a video by you both on Posteria pelvic tilt. I am female,5 ft 8 inches tall and have a flat sacrum, short pelvis and long spine. I am now 82 and after a lifetime of standing straight and walking a lot, I now bend forward from my lower lumbar. I can’t walk any distance anymore. Recently I found a bump in my spine which pushes my spine to the rear. I found I can pull up with my upper back and feel the bump disappear. I can then walk as long as it stays in place. I was wondering if you could do a video on this which I think is posterior pelvic tilt but since it’s a self diagnosis, I wouldn’t bet on it.

I wish I could watch the whole video, but when the doctor in the blue shirt started to move the knee back and forward I've had to stop. My last MRI was in 2010 , and I've got Chondromalacia of the Patella with subchondral marrow oedema in the femoral trochlea I haven't reached 40 yrs as yet. I was a gymnast. My knee problems started around the age of 8 doing classical ballet. In order to strengthen the thigh muscles, I went on gymnastics. By the age of 15 my knees were killing me, and I've had to stop gymnastics. I did not stop being active and started dancing, and by the age of 18, I could hardly walk, drive a manual car, and it was then that I've had the Keyhole knee operation which didn't fix anything. In 2004 plantar fasciitis was added to the mix, exercise is very hard for me. My brain wants too, but my legs are telling me no. My knees will give away at anytime, going up a step, doing down a step, getting up from sitting down for a while. The amount of times I've almost fall is crazy e.g. when entering a bus (public transport), as the first step on the bus as is high, like going up a step. The bus drivers always look at me with big eyes, like what is wrong with this young lady? Not knowing my knees are of a 80yrs old lady (one with bad bones that is). Naproxen and codeine are my 'friends', McConnell taping did work for me. Nevertheless like I've been doing for years, is just leaving with these pulsating, unreliable, locking, give away broken knees, as they will not kill me.

Clinical symptoms: I am unable to squat beyond 90 degrees causing severe pain. I cant kneel on the floor. Pain is severe while bending knee whilst weight bearing, nil symptoms when bending knee freely. what will happen to me in future? im doing my rehab exercise but im scare

I am 29 years old and I was diagnosed with Chondromalacia Patella and early onset arthritis by my doctor 2 years ago and his advice was to stop playing basketball and only do exercises that are low impact (swimming & biking). I don't want to give up my passion, but I know if I continue playing I will surely suffer later on in life. I know you don't have all the information, but if I follow the PT advice here and obviously consult a PT in person, do I stand a chance of improving the condition of my knee (going down stairs is really tough) and delaying the progression of my arthritis? A knee replacement may be in my future, but I want to delay that moment as long as possible, and being so young the thought of going through such a major surgery like that gives me anxiety. Any insight or advice you can give a young lad such as myself? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

You can see it on a straight X-ray. Mine shows the patella out of place, with messy cartilage plus some arthritis in the femur, where the Patella is knocking against it. You don’t need arthroscopicy.

Is it possible for your knee to shift inward instead of outwards? And how would you know which way it's shifting to?

@MsSilentH 7 жыл бұрын

So if you do the taping and of course any exercises and stretching for this kind of pain, will it eventually go away permanently? Or is the damage under the kneecap going to keep it from getting to 100%? I got very vague info from my doctors on this, didn't really describe how it came to happen etc, and pretty much told me you can do exercises but will just have to deal with it. Not particularly something you want to hear, especially when it can get very painful... (That and the fact that they did not do the scope for my knee, so this is more of, what they think I have)

My other half has Attenuated patella alta and several dislocations a week / subluxations to her joints. she too has EDS. She’s had so many operations to fix this as she has NO grove to hold knees in place . They tried to make her one . and they all failed it’s made her knee worse. She left with complex regional pain syndrome . As her surgeons have damage the nerves in her leg from her knee replacement and left her with drop foot.. This is only a temporary fix the tape is fantastic and does work. I have watch her over the years splint / brace and tape her knee for over 20 years the tape is doing the job your muscles should be as they are too weak hence the tape but the problem is she has extremely weak muscles left dip in top of the leg from muscles waste just above the knee as a result of taping the knee cap daily. It’s a catch 22 as the taping the knee has left her with other problems

Hi, i think i have a problem with my patella. Whenever i walk or run i can feel that my knee cap goes out of the groove and i have this strange feeling like grinding feeling that is really uncomfortable. I tried taping it and it lessens the symptoms. I heard that leg raises helps to cure the symptoms? How long it will takes to bring back my knee to normal without taping it? I also doing some stretching and foam rolling with my quads before and after my leg day training. Thank you in advance for your reply and more power to your channel.

I went to a specialist and he used a long needle to draw some of the fluid for testing. I now have a new issue. pain in my left shin. Is it possible the needle did something?
