Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), sometimes referred to as "anterior knee pain" is one of the most common knee disorders, affecting both the general population and physically active individuals. Pain usually occurs during activities that increase the compressive forces on the patellofemoral joint. Objective: To evaluate the correlation of hip muscle strength and patellofemoral pain syndrome in men. Methodology: The study design was non experimental study type was observational, sampling method was convenient sampling with 30 subject and study setting was on SRM college hospital and research institute. Inclusion criteria were only males with patellofemoral pain syndrome were included, age between 16 to 25 years, then subjects should be positive with the Clarke's test. Exclusion criteria were bilateral knee pain, prior surgery to one or both the hips knees, history of patellar dislocation in either knee, hip pathological conditions. Procedure: Applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome were approached, then the procedure was explained and consent was taken. Then the strength of the hip muscle is tested in both the lower limbs along with which range of motion is measured and the questionnaire was given. Results: The result shows that the patient with patellofemoral pain syndrome has a weakness in hip abductors and lateral rotators. Conclusion: This study concluded that hip adduction and external rotator weakness are evaluated by hand held dynamometer are associated with iliotibial band syndrome in males, shows development of anterior knee pain which is patellofemoral pain syndrome.
