The treatment protocol commonly includes hip and knee muscle strengthening and patellar taping etc. correcting the biomechanical alignment of the foot by maintaining the MLA height is of great importance in treatment of anterior knee pain. Aim: To compare the effects of quadriceps exercises versus foot exercises on pain and Navicular drop in patients with anterior knee pain. Methodology: The 60 subjects were divided into two groups - A and B, where group A was given foot exercises while group B was given knee exercises. Outcome measures were Visual analog scale (VAS), Navicular drop and KOS-ADL score taken before and after six weeks of intervention. Results: Both the interventions were effective in reducing pain and navicular drop in patients with anterior knee pain. Conclusion: Better result in Navicular drop was found in subjects given short foot exercises while VAS score and KOS-ADL score improved more in subjects who were given quadriceps exercises.&#13;
