Patient discussions
Patients should be educated so that they understand which activities aggravate the condition.
The patient's physiotherapist should educate the patient about a home exercise programme, making sure that the patient has a good understanding of the exercises.
All patients should be given a comprehensive independent exercise programme after completing initial and reactivation-phase treatments. The majority of patients have success with conservative treatment programmes and a generalised rehabilitation programme.
Symptoms in some patients will return when rehabilitation is terminated or when they return to their previous activity level, especially athletes with a hypermobile patella.[1][100]
