History and Physical Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria.
The criteria used to diagnose patellofemoral pain syndrome and participant eligibility in this study are shown.

On right, the 6mm medial wedge is shown. On left, the 3mm lateral wedge is shown.

The motion capture cameras, force platform, timing system, and retroreflective markers can be seen.
Table 2.
Baseline characteristics are shown for each footwear group, and the regroupings*. Baseline measures were compared using paired-samples two-tailed t-tests (α = 0.05).
Table 3.
Main results of this study are displayed for each footwear group, and the regroupings* after the six-week intervention.
Mean differences between groups are shown with 95% confidence intervals. Negative % change values indicate that there was a decrease from baseline.

Scatter plot showing relationship between absolute change in knee abduction angular impulse (KAAI) with wedged intervention and pain reduction over 6 weeks.
The regression analysis in this article also adjusted for baseline pain; however a 2-dimensional graph is shown here for clarity.
