The Effects of Dry Needling the Quadriceps or Gluteal Muscle Groups in the Multimodal Management of Patellofemoral Pain: A Critically Appraised Topic

J Sport Rehabil. 2025 Aug 12:1-7. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2024-0282. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT CLINICAL SCENARIO: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) places a large burden on patients and the larger health care system.
