* OBJECTIVE: To (1) investigate the goals and expectations of participants enrolled in a clinical trial of physical therapist--led treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and (2) explore associations between their expectations and self-reported hip burden and kinesiophobia. * DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. * METHODS: Data from 150 participants with FAI syndrome who participated in a clinical trial were analyzed. Participants described their most important treatment goal and the expectation of achieving this goal throughout physical therapy treatment. The 33-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) subscales were used to assess self-reported hip burden. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia was used to assess kinesiophobia. Participant goals were qualitatively analyzed using content analysis. Linear regression was used to explore associations between patient expectations and the iHOT-33 and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia scores. * RESULTS: Participants with FAI syndrome reported goals relating to exercise (52%), improving activities of daily living quality (23%), improving physical function (15%), and reducing pain (10%). Negative expectations regarding physical therapist--led treatment were reported by 68% of the participants. Those with negative expectations reported worse scores for the iHOT-total score (mean difference = 12 points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4 to 19) and the iHOT-symptoms (mean difference = 14 points; 95% CI, 7 to 21) and iHOT-social (mean difference = 11 points; 95% CI, 2 to 21) subscale scores, compared to those with positive expectations. Treatment expectations were not associated with the iHOT-sport and iHOT-job subscale scores and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia scores (P>.05). * CONCLUSION: Patients with FAI syndrome had a generally negative expectation of physical therapist--led treatment. There was a mismatch between patients' goals and current treatment approaches. Participants with FAI syndrome and negative expectations reported worse quality of life, symptoms, and social concerns compared to those with positive expectations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

* OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of education interventions compared with any type of comparator on managing patellofemoral pain (PFP). * DESIGN: Intervention systematic review. PROSPERO identifier: CRD42018088671. * LITERATURE SEARCH: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched for studies evaluating the effect of education on clin ical and functional outcomes in people with PFP. * STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Two reviewers independently assessed studies fo r inclusion and quality. We included randomized controlled tria ls on PFP where at least 1 group received an educatio n intervention (in isolation or in combination with other interventions). * DATA SYNTHESIS: Available data were synthesized via meta-analysis where possible; data that were not appropriate for pooling were synthesized qualitatively. Interpretation was guided by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. * RESULTS: Nine tria ls were identified. Low-credibility evidence indicated that health education material alone was inferior to exercise therapy for pain and function outcomes. Low- and very low-credibility evidence indicated that health professional-delivered education alone produced outcomes similar to those of exercise therapy combined with healtn professional-delivered education for pain and function, respectively. * CONCLUSION: Health professional-delivered education may produce similar outcomes in pain and function compared to exercise therapy plus health professional-delivered education in people with PFP.
