Abnormal patellofemoral joint compressive forces and gluteal muscle weakness have been proposed to be associated with patellofemoral joint pain. The elliptical exercise machines can commonly be found in physical therapy clinics and gyms. The elliptical cross trainer may add another form of therapeutic exercise in the rehabilitation for patients with patellofemoral pain. The objective was to determine if the Elliptical Cross Trainer has a role in the rehabilitation of patellofemoral pain.
