Popis: Background and Aims Patellofemoral pain syndrome often results from misalignment of the patellofemoral joint that can affect lower limb function. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between patellar position and lower limb function and balance in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods In this exploratory analytical study, 39 male and female athletes with this syndrome with an average age of 25.6±4.7 years were selected by available sampling. Lower limb function and dynamic balance were measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) scale and Y balance test, respectively, and patellar position was assessed by digital radiology. The Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data at a significance level of 0.05. Results The results showed that the position of the patella was significantly associated with lower limb function and dynamic balance (P
