Effects of a patellar-stabilizing brace and a sleeve on patellofemoral (PF) joint kinematics in 23 females with patellofemoral pain (PFP). The solid, dashed, and dotted lines represent the means of the PFP group, the PFP group with brace application, and the PFP group with sleeve application. The shaded regions are ± 1 SD. (A) Effect of brace on the bisect offset index. The brace reduced bisect offset for knee flexion angles <60°. (B) Effect of sleeve on bisect offset. The sleeve reduced bisect offset for knee flexion angles <20°. (C) Effect of brace on lateral tilt. The brace reduced tilt for knee flexion angles <20°. (D) Effect of sleeve on tilt. The sleeve did not change the tilt.
