Brief Summary
Anterior knee pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation within knee conditions in adolescents and young adults. However, despite the high prevalence of this disorder, its pathogenesis and therefore its treatment are not clearly understood. Foam rolling has become a common intervention to enhance joint mobility and muscle recovery after exercise. the aim of this study is analyze the effectiveness of a roller intervention in patients with anterior knee pain.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Changes in mechanosensitivity
Mechanosensitivity is going to be assessed by a hand-held pressure algometer. The pressure will be applied perpendicular to the skin at a constant rate of 30 kPa/s until the patient felt the pressure change to pain and pressed a button defining the PPT.
Changes from baseline mechanosensitivity at 4 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Vertical jump assessment with a mat
Baseline, 4 weeks
Isokinetic strength
Baseline, 4 weeks
Pain intensity assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory
Baseline, 4 weeks
Functional knee limitation assessed by the Kujala Knee Score
Baseline, 4 weeks
