Given that clinical practice modification is based on outcome studies, the ability to evaluate and quantify the effects of treatment in anterior knee pain (AKP) patients is vital. Due to the limitations of the current methods like the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and functional scores such as the Kujala score and IKDC, new technologies are needed to measure the benefits of AKP treatment and to compare different methods of treatment. The final objective should be measurement during dynamic activities that cause or aggravate the symptoms. This objective might be achievable by means of kinetic and kinematic analysis given that both are useful in the objective measurement of lower limb function.
