Core Tip
Core Tip: The future of patient-reported outcome measures in patellofemoral pain (PFP) must balance specificity, efficiency, and universality. VISA-P may serve a niche-young, athletic, sport-homogenous groups-but broader utility demands either revision or combination with tools that capture the complexity of PFP across diverse demographics.
