For over 15 years, Dr Bolgla’s research has focused primarily on the management of individuals with patellofemoral pain. She has received both external and internal funding to support works aimed at identifying biomechanical factors associated with PFP, best treatment strategies, and understanding the association between PFP in early adulthood and possible osteoarthritis onset in later years. To date, Dr Bolgla has over 30 peer-reviewed publications and 50 peer-reviewed abstracts. She also received the 2017 International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy Achievement of Distinction- Best Original Research Manuscript Award for her work as lead author on the following manuscript: “Pain, Function, and Strength Outcomes for Males and Females with Patellofemoral Pain Who Participate in Either a Hip/Core- or Knee-Based Rehabilitation Program.” Dr Bolgla has presented research findings at national and international conferences.

Abstract: 

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain among physically active individuals. Due to its multifactorial etiology, this condition can be difficult to effectively manage. Many individuals with PFP report recurrent or chronic symptoms even after receiving an intervention. Unsuccessful management of PFP may be due to a lack of understanding of the various factors contributing to the development of PFP and how to effectively intervene. This presentation will aid clinicians in understanding factors that play a role in the development of PFP and provide evidence for interventions that lead to positive patient outcomes.
