Abstract: The Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in the population that has as main clinical symptom intermittent pain in the anterior, peri or retropatellar regions, the pain is exacerbated by functional activities. Although PPS is a high incidence, so far there are no factors that are considered ideal for characterization of dysfunction. It is only known that PPS can lead electromyographic changes in the muscles Vastus Medialis (VMO) and Vastus Lateralis (VL). Other relevant information known is that the process of neuromuscular control of the quadriceps muscle can be analyzed by obtaining the H-reflex. The hypothesis of this study is that women with PFPS have different H-reflex modulation from asymptomatic women. The objective of this study was to analyze the amplitude of the H-reflex in women characterized clinically with the PPS and in asymptomatic women, and to test the quality of the measure used. 30 women were recruited, 15 were diagnosed with PFPS and 15 assymptomatic. They composed the PFPS Group (PFPSG) and control group (CG) respectively...
