Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Musculoskeletal Disorders Summary: Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common orthopedic knee conditions encountered in athletes and general population and is more prevalent in females than in males. Lower limb malalignment is an important etiological factor for PFPS. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was any relationship between static lower extremity alignment and PFPS. Methods: Forty nine patients (38 females and 11males) had participated in this study, their age ranged from eighteen to thirty five years. Each patient was assessed for static lower limb alignment measures (pelvic tilting angle, tibial torsion using PALM (PALpation Meter); femoral neck anteversion using inclinometer; Q-angle, tibiofemoral angle using plastic standard goniometer, navicular drop using ruler) and patellofemoral pain by kujala scale. Results: The results showed no relationship between lower limb alignment measures and PFPS. Conclusion: Lower extremity malalignment does not affect function in patients with PFPS
