Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) refers to a multifactorial pathogenesis that leads to pain in and around the patella in the absence of other pathology. Historically, it has been referred to as anterior knee pain and is extremely common throughout the lifespan. Almost anyone can get it, but it particularly affects runners, cyclists, hikers, gym-goers, and office workers.

Shoulder instability is a condition where the shoulder joint (specifically the humeral head and glenoid fossa) cannot maintain its proper position after a partial (subluxation) or complete (dislocation) displacement. This instability occurs due to damage to the ligaments and supporting structures, leading to pain, reduced function, and a higher risk of future dislocations.
