Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determined if a lower back treatment would change the hip and knee muscle activities in people with and without anterior knee pain. The investigators hypothesized that the lower back treatment may change the hip and knee muscle activities in people with anterior knee pain but not in people without anterior knee pain.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Electromyography (EMG)
Electromyography (EMG) onset time of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, vastus medialis oblique, and vastus lateralis muscles.
The EMG data will be collected within 48 hours for all participants in both groups. On Day 1, data will be collected twice at baseline. On Day 2, data will be collected before and immediately after as well as 15, 30, and 45 min after the intervention.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be assessed before and 45 min after the lower back treatment (lumbopelvic manipulation) for participants in the patellofemoral pain syndrome group on Day 2 only.
Study Arms (2)
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Healthy control
ACTIVE COMPARATORAge- and gender-matched participants without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Interventions
High-velocity-low-amplitude thrust manipulation of the lumbopelvic region
