This study evaluated the effectiveness of a six-week physiotherapy treatment program for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. The treatment was delivered at a National Health Service hospital in North-West Wales. Twenty-six patients (9 males, 16 females) referred to the physiotherapy department completed pain scales and tests of lower limb strength and flexibility at the beginning and end of treatment. The tests measured muscle strength, flexibility, pain levels, and function. The results showed improvements in all areas after 5-8 weeks of physiotherapy.

3. Abstract
Study objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness on muscle
strength, flexibility, pain and function of a six-week
physiotherapy treatment for patients with Patellofemoral Pain
Syndrome delivered in a district North-West Wales National
Health Service Hospital.
Methods: 26 patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (9
males, 16 females) who were referred to the NHS physiotherapy
department where asked to complete an AKP Scale and two VASs
along with a series of clinical tests that measure lower limb
isometric strength and flexibility in two different occasions; The
first occasion took place directly after the first treatment
session with the physiotherapist; the second occasion took place
directly after the last physiotherapy visit which was
approximately after 5-8 weeks.
