  1. * odds ratio with 95% confidence interval, adjusted for all other covariates in model. aOR is interpreted as the odds relative to the ISO-PF group (for example, compared with those people with ISO-PF, those with ISO-TF have 4.5 times the odds of intercondylar gap > 0 cm (varus deformity); compared with ISO-PF participants with NONE/MILD, ISO-TF, and COMB were less likely to report pain on patellofemoral joint compression). †Compression or glide pain. ‡Mild/Moderate/Gross. §Possible/Definite. ¶< 141mmHg
