Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal knee condition characterized by pain around or behind the patella, particularly during activities that increase patellofemoral joint loading.Its multifactorial nature and variation in clinical presentation make individualized physiotherapy management important.This systematic review aimed to synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials evaluating contemporary physiotherapy interventions for improving pain, muscle strength, functional performance, balance, neuromuscular control, and biomechanical outcomes in individuals with PFPS.A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Scopus for studies published from January
