    Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common pain conditions in the knee area. The reduced strength of the surrounding muscle groups can cause local biomechanical changes, which subsequently ... contribute to the development of PFP. The aim of our review is to compare and evaluate the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the hip, trunk, and ankle muscles in men and women with PFP. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed and 9 studies were selected for further analysis that fit the pre-set criteria. Results: A significantly larger number of studies have studied hip MVIC in women with PFP than in men with the same pathology. Studies in women report reduced abductor, adductor, and hip extensor strength, while in the case of two studies that examined lateral flexors of the trunk MVIC, the results were conflicting. Our search did not find any studies that examined the effect of MVIC of ankle or foot muscles on PFP in men or womenPatellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common pain conditions in the knee area.
