Hi
My succes with patellofemoral pain and VMO exercises seems to be fairly
varied (as are patients). However, 2 good references which you might find
useful are:Patellofemoral Disorders: a classification system and clinical
guidelines for nonoperative rehabilitation., Wilk K, Davies G, Mangine R,
Malone T. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. Vol 28 No 5. Nov 1998 P307-322.
The role of quadriceps exercise in the treatment of patellofemoral pain
syndrome. Sports med, Callaghan M, Oldham J. May 1996 :21(5)
P384-391.
