Patient discussions
Patients should be educated so that they understand which activities aggravate the condition.
The patient's physical therapist should educate the patient about a home exercise program, making sure the patient has a good understanding of the exercises.
All patients should be given a comprehensive independent exercise program after completing initial and reactivation-phase treatments. The majority of patients have success with conservative treatment programs and a generalized rehabilitation program.
Symptoms of some patients will return when rehabilitation is terminated or when they return to their previous activity level, especially athletes with a hypermobile patella.[1][94]
