REPORT-PFP Checklist

We have developed a clearly defined, and widely accepted set of agreed-upon standards for REPORTing of quantitative PatelloFemoral Pain studies.

Our goal with this checklist is to enhance research translation to clinical practice, facilitate more trustworthy evidence synthesis, and guide clinicians on how to contribute to research and data collection in their practice.

Here we have suggestions for what tools you can use to report each of the checklist items. These recommendations were made by an iPFRN expert panel using a robust, structured consensus research process.
