Subjects with patellofemoral syndrome will be recruited into the study. Half of the subjects will be given a placebo injection while the other half will be given an injection of Botox (Botulinum Toxin A, Allergen) into the vastus lateralis muscle. Group assignment will be randomized and a double blind protocol used. Prior to injection, the subject will record their level of knee pain, fill out several knee function questionnaires, and have the strength and endurance of their knee extensor muscles tested. All subjects will be given an exercise program designed to target strengthening of the medial thigh muscles as well as stretching of lateral structures.
