Hello,

I am new here so im not sure if this is the correct place to post.

I have Chondromalacia Patella in my right knee (diagnosed via MRI) and ive been trying to get rid of it by strengthening legs / glutes etc for almost a year now.  What i have noticed is that when i contract my quads they fire in a different sequence on my right leg to my (good) left one. It seems the VMO fires before the rest and then the other muscles take over and pull my kneecap laterally.  I have took a video to show you below.

Could this be causing the Chondromalacia Patella & how can i fix this?

Thanks in Advance
