Impact Of Whole Body Vibration on Planter /Dorsi Flexor Ratio, Pain and Functional Activities in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Impact Of Whole Body Vibration on Planter /Dorsi Flexor Ratio, Pain and Functional Activities in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) can significantly affect an individual's ability perform to functional activities, such as walking, running, climbing stairs, and sitting for prolonged periods. PFPS is often associated with pain and discomfort in the front of the knee, which can limit an individual's range of motion and cause difficulty with weight-bearing activities. The pain may also be exacerbated by activities that involve bending the knee, such as squatting or kneeling. Whole body vibration (WBV) has been suggested as a potential intervention for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Some studies have shown that WBV can improve muscle strength, balance, and proprioception, which are all factors that may contribute to PFPS. Additionally, WBV may help reduce pain and improve functional abilities in individuals with PFPS However, the evidence for the effectiveness of WBV as an intervention for PFPS is still limited, and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and limitations. It is important to note that WBV may not be suitable for all individuals with PFPS.

HYPOTHESES: There will be no significant difference on dorsi/planter flexor ratio , functional activities and pain level after adding the whole body vibration to traditional treatment of PFPS RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the impact of whole-body vibration on dorsi/planter flexor ratio, functional activities and pain levels in individuals with PFPS? ;
