N2  - Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common complaint in athletes and populations which described as a dull and aching pain in anterior or retropatellar area in absence of other pathology. It is commonly believed that main problems of PFPS are pain and impaired knee function.Purpose: To compare between effect of medial wedge support combined with hip abductors and lateral rotators strengthening exercises versus hip abductors and lateral rotators strengthening exercises alone. Design: The study was conducted on thirty patients (10 females and 20 males). The patients were assigned randomly into two equal groups.The experimental group (A): 15 patients with a mean age of (24.0 ± 5.16 years) and mean BMI (24.67 ± 2.56 kg/m2) were treated with hip abductors and lateral rotators strengthening exercises in addition to wearing medial wedge support, whereas the control group (B): 15 patients with mean of age (22.0 ±1.60 years) and mean BMI (23.07 ± 2.88 kg/m2) were treated with only hip abductors and lateral rotators strengthening exercises
