Video Summary
The video features Tamar Brand Perez, a physical therapist, discussing patellofemoral joint dynamics and rehabilitation strategies. The joint experiences significant forces due to its small contact area with the femur and the powerful quadriceps muscle. The patient discussed has a smaller patella and recent weight gain, impacting joint congruity. Rehabilitation focuses initially on avoiding pain, addressing dynamic valgus, and strengthening muscles. Early exercises include clamshells, quad sets, straight leg raises, sidestepping with a TheraBand, shallow wall squats, and shallow lunges, shifting from hip to quadriceps strengthening as pain allows.
