Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Patellofemoral Pain

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Objective this study is to analyze the effects of an intervention protocol with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the vastus medialis obliquus and gluteus medius (GM) associated with exercises on electromyographic activity, muscle performance, self-reported functionality and pain of women with patellofemoral pain.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, blinded trial in which 40 women, aged 18-30 years, will be randomized into 2 groups: Stimulation and Exercise Group (SEG) - will perform an exercise protocol associated with stimulation in the vastus medialis (VM) and gluteus medius (GM) muscles. Exercises Group (ExG) - will perform the same protocol of exercises of the previous group, however, without association with neuromuscular electrical stimulation. The intervention will occur twice a week for eight weeks. All volunteers will be submitted to the evaluation of the electromyographic activity of the VM, the GM and the vastus lateralis, the dynamometric parameters, the intensity of the pain and the functionality, in four moments: 72h hours before the beginning of the intervention; after 4 weeks of intervention; after 8 weeks of intervention; after 16 weeks from the start of the intervention (eight weeks after the end of the protocol). In this way, the investigators will investigate the applicability of the proposed trial with the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and identify the effects of this resource in the treatment of PFP. ;
