  ABSTRACT: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition, with a high incidence in young active adolescents, as well as in other age groups. The multifactorial etiology of the syndrome makes the clinical evaluation and synthesis of an effective treatment plan particularly demanding and difficult. The absence of a specific clinical trial for the diagnosis or rejection of PFPS leads to the diagnosis of the syndrome through the careful rejection of other conditions with similar symptoms. Physiotherapy is based on the management and immediate treatment of the patient’s pain, by combining active and passive means of treatment and address the fear of exercise and movement. Interventions for the treatment of patellofemoral pain present positive short-term but not as encouraging long-term results. Therefore we are posed with an interesting question: what is the most effective treatment plan for the management of PFPS? The purpose of the review is to present the necessary and most up-to-date data for the identification, clinical evaluation and etiology of the syndrome as well as to compose in the form of guidelines (Guidelines) the basis for building an effective treatment plan for the treatment of PFPS.
