TL;DRAbstract

Infrared thermography appears to be a useful, noninvasive diagnostic test in the diagnosis and management of patellofemoral pain syndrome. The high incidence of patellar thermal asymmetry and dysautonomia at the patella in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome implicates somatosympathetic mediation in this disorder. This may be helpful in understanding the evolution of patellofemoral disorders.
