Patellofemoral tracking syndrome refers to the medical condition where the kneecap (patella) falls out of alignment. The kneecap is important because it acts as a protective and stabilizing cover for the knee joint, a major hinge joint that connects, a major hinge joint that connects the thigh to the lower leg and helps with flexion and extension movements. When the patella becomes dislocated, it can cause pain and instability in and around the knee joint and difficulties with walking.
Fluid Health and Fitness is a proactive health management company that offers training programs to restore and improve human biomechanical movement health. The company’s mission is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and functional movement by providing an integrated, scalable, and traceable motion system.

Thanks @Marla Mcdonald! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Would you be interested in receiving a complimentary movement assessment? We tailor a specific exercise and mobility plan specifically to you by having you complete a virtual movement assessment with one of our biomechanics experts. Don't worry this is complimentary. You see, what most people are unaware of, is that they have pre-established movement distortions that create the potential for, or are the cause of, the majority of injury cycles they're experiencing. That's why we offer this complimentary movement screen to tease out the distortions you may possess, so we can identify the reason you may be experiencing instability or why you may experience chronic reoccurring injuries. We use this information to create a custom plan for you. To get started we need you to complete two simple steps. First, you'll need to complete a discovery call where we'll help set you up on our virtual platform. This is where we'll complete your movement screen and provide your custom mobility plan. At the end of the call we'll schedule your movement screen. Did you have a time you'd be available for the discovery call? If so reach out here - meetings.hubspot.com/rmaxwell/15-minute-discovery-call-group Fluid Health & Fitness, Inc is an outpatient orthopedic center that specializes in functionally integrated movement. We offer both Physical Therapy and Corrective Exercise solutions. We help individuals through our two outpatient orthopedic centers in Minnesota, USA as well as worldwide, via our virtual telehealth platform. We work with people of all backgrounds.

This is the best descriptive video I have seen regarding this issue. I had a right knee replacement in august. A few weeks later good left knee started with issues due to overcompensation. Mri confirmed patellar alta which I didn’t have previous to this surgery. I also have stage 4 chondromalacia.

[@CRAYONL516]

great videos! I just watched both - as a personal trainer, this information is super helpful! I have a client that has been told she has patella tracking issues - but her pain is below the kneecap, not above, like you mentioned. Would this potentially change what muscles are involved?

[@FluidHealthandFitness]

Hi Cora-Ann.. thanks for the watch. Without an assessment it would hard to say. Pain below the knee could be a number of things, including but not limited to patella tendon strain, meniscus, or cartilage damage. Generally position of the hip, hemisphere dominance, and center of mass has a large part to play in whether the knee tracks functionally. Knowing these things would help to tease out which force couples are out of balance.

[@CRAYONL516]

@@FluidHealthandFitness Thanks for the quick response! I'm seeing her tomorrow, and I'm going to run through some tests and see if I can tell what's going on, or if she needs to get it checked out. Appreciate the help and all the great videos!

Thanks for the video. My right knee has shifted to the inside and so I have problems running with my right leg dragging, I will try these exercises. Are there other exercises? Will orthotics help?

Hi Francis! Thanks for watching. From what you are describing, there are several things we could attack. Would you be willing to complete a movement evaluation with us virtually? The cost is $99.. We'd be able to drill down for you.

[@Trillvil1]

I’ve been having tracking issues on my right knee since last week and I sprained my left ankle a couple days before the tracking issue. I’m just guessing but maybe my sprained ankle caused the tracking issue

[@violetgodwin677]

[@davidwiddison4781]

Hi Michelle my name is David from fluid health and fitness send me an email [e-mail] so I can answer your question in more detail as it pertains to your individual goal

[@saarthhhh5005]

does having patella tracking issues increase my chances of patella dislocation?

[@FluidHealthandFitness]

The medial patellofemoral ligament is the primary stabiliser against lateral displacement/dislocation of the patella. Imbalance between stronger lateral tissues like the vastus lateralis, overcome weaker medial structures, especially the medial patellofemoral ligament . Often the mechanism for injury is associated with twisting of the leg, with internal rotation of the femur on a fixed foot. Valgus stress (internal movement of the femur) is also associated with dislocation.

[@pele-moshec2552]

I have this issue . Been doing physical therapy for almost a year ..no help . No one knows how to solve this problem . Its insane how the a small patella mal tracking can destroy a life. Can you explain how to test a medial torsion of femur ? Can you try to explain the bio mechanism of lateral patella tracking ?

[@joshschoenly2777]

Me too

[@dazzlingpumppouches]

Same it has ruined my life at this time

[@joshschoenly2777]

Did you figure anything out?? I'm in p.t.. AGAIN! They mentioned arch support and it makes sense when I think about it. Also they can cinch up ligaments or add lateral ones to keep it stable. I had a doctor mention grooving out the kneecap socket.

[@NickKarlin7010]

At 18:30 when you’re showing the exercise do you want to resist the pull to the outside or do you want to gently allow it?

[@mrryannealmaxwell]

The band tension is engaging the quadriceps (ideally vastus medialis) at terminal knee extension to assist with tibial and patella stability. Focus on keeping the knee at no deeper than 13 degrees of internal rotation.

Do i have to sleep a certain way, I feel like my spine alignment affects my pelvis.

[@ryanmaxwell5374]

How you sleep can position your back. Side sleeping can bow your back to the opposite side, essentially hiking the hip on the opposite side of that on the ground. The top leg can also drag the spine forward into the opposite side, twisting the spine clockwise if left is up, or counter clockwise if right is up.

Have you seen anyone’s knee start tracking normally after maltracking?

[@mrryannealmaxwell]

Absolutely. Often folks focus on the tracking of the cap in the groove, rather than adjusting the femurs relative position (there by making the groove more congruent), or improve the global distribution of force throughout the gait cycle, which can lead ro less than desirable outcomes. Applying local and global tactics usual can resolve the issue.
