These mechanisms can lead to inflammation or enlargement of the infrapatellar fat pad and cause impingement in the patellofemoral joint.2 Patients with an IFP pathology often present with burning or aching infrapatellar anterior knee pain aggravated by physical activity and lessened with rest.3,4 Through inspection, the fat pad may appear enlarged or have a firm consistency upon palpation.1,2 Conservative treatment is recommended in the acute stages of Hoffa’s fat pad syndrome, commonly rehabilitation-based care.2-4 Other conservative treatments include taping or bracing, local corticosteroid injections, or avoiding the aggravating sport or activity.2-4 mailto:winkelz@mailbox.sc.edu https://doi.org/10.31622/2023/0006.02.8 University Football Participation with Hoffa’s Fat Pad Syndrome: A Disablement Model Case Study 51 Copyright © by Indiana State University Clinical Practice in Athletic Training All rights reserved.	cache/clinat-170.pdf	txt/clinat-170.txt
