Method: The search strategy was constructed by gathering relevant studies from five different databases. Randomized controlled trials were included according to established PICO(s) criteria. A total of 14 studies were independently selected and analyzed by two reviewers. Results: 32 studies corresponding to the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for this scoping review. The authors collected and analyzed these data: description of the type of home practice, frequency requested, duration of practice requested, method of declaring membership, declared membership and quantity of practice. Conclusion: The studies under scrutiny collectively point towards exercise-based therapy as a fundamental component for pain reduction and function improvement across short, medium, and long-term periods for patients suffering from PFP. Integrating this rehabilitation through home-based exercise therapy (HBET) holds significant potential benefits. However, this scoping review underscores notable gaps in comprehensive exercise prescription details, crucial for defining the exercise stimulus. These gaps impede a comprehensive grasp of how different dosing variables collaboratively influence treatment outcomes. The absence of standardization further compounds the issue, making it complex to pinpoint optimal dosing strategies that could effectively enhance patient outcomes. This challenge is particularly pronounced when evaluating adherence to this therapy.exercise therapypatellofermoral painadherencehome based physiotherapytext::thesis::master thesisthesis:42282
