Method/Design: For<br>this study were evaluated 41 university students aged between 18 and 30 years divided into group with PFPS and control group, in<br>which we analyzed the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), length of the lower limbs (LL) away from the patella ASIS<br>bilaterally, lateral bending and iliac slope. Results: After data collection and subsequent tabulation, it was found that the group with<br>PFPS showed contralateral iliac increase the pain (p = 0.01), moreover, was also found to the side of prevalence of pain is the side not<br>dominant (p = 0.00). Conclusions: It can be inferred that there is little relationship between the morphological changes of the hip with<br>the PFPS, as only found a side tilt of the pelvis in volunteer group that reported a previous knee pain.</p>}, journal={Manual Therapy, Posturology & Rehabilitation Journal}, author={Sanchez, Hugo Machado and Sanchez, Eliane Gouveia de Morais and Nascimento, Savana Brandão}, year={2015}, month={Jan.}, pages={1–6} }
