NCT ID: NCT02322515 Completed - Clinical trials for Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome

Patellar Taping on Proprioceptive Exercises in Young Women With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Tapping
Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The relevance of this study is to determine the effects of a patellar taping on muscle activation of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL) and gluteus medius (GM) during different proprioceptive exercises frequently utilized in rehabilitation program.

NCT ID: NCT02243332 Completed - Clinical trials for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Dynamic Quadriceps Muscle Stimulation for Treatment of Patellofemoral Pain

Start date: September 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this small, pilot study is to evaluate a novel device that uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation to assist quadriceps muscles as a user walks. This study will involve use of this device on individuals with patellofemoral pain, a relatively common injury among active people, to see if quadriceps stimulation could mitigate disparities in quadriceps activation timing that may indirectly lead to knee pain.

NCT ID: NCT01434966 Completed - Clinical trials for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Changes in Quadriceps Function Following Local or Distant Interventions in Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain

Start date: September 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if interventions applied at a distant site, lumbopelvic region (manipulation and TENS), have a similar effect as interventions applied locally at the knee (TENS) on quadriceps force output and activation as well as reports of pain during common exercises in individuals with PFPS.

NCT ID: NCT01007643 Terminated - Clinical trials for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Use of Wii Fit (TM) to Increase Compliance With Home Exercises in Treating Patellofemoral Syndrome

Start date: October 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To determine the utility of the Wii Fit TM interactive video game program in patellofemoral symptom resolution, development of increased muscle strength and flexibility as a result of increased compliance with home exercises in adolescent females with patellofemoral syndrome.

NCT ID: NCT00643487 Completed - Clinical trials for Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome

In Vivo Arthroscopic Behavior of the Infrapatellar Plica of the Knee

Start date: February 2006
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Anterior knee pain has been an enigmatic problem for orthopedic surgeons. Recent studies, as well as the clinical observation of the principle investigator have suggested that arthroscopic resection of the infrapatellar plica (IPP), a vestigial remnant from embryonic development of no known clinical or biological significance, may eliminate this pain. The mechanism whereby this pain is related to the IPP is unclear. This study will document the mechanical behavior of the IPP, its kinematics, as recorded on video among a group of subjects who are undergoing arthroscopy. Radiographic visualization of the observed behavior will be obtained by injection of contrast material, and then fluoroscopic recording of a standard series of motions. The plica will then be resected to avoid any possibility of residual symptoms related to its presence. Further fluoroscopy of the knee without plical attachment, will allow the kinematic behavior to be assessed. The procedure will then be terminated.

NCT ID: NCT00246558 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome

Tight Achilles Tendon, Hyperpronation and Anterior Knee Pains

Start date: November 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to investigate the prevalence of pain in the anterior part of the knee, amongst youngsters between 16 and 18 years of age. Furthermore, this trial intends to study the connection between the pain, hyperpronation of the foot and tight Achilles tendon. We want to find out if there is a need of an early effort in terms of information, training and/or support for the shoes.
