Filter by:Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common source of anterior knee pain. The causes of PFPS may be multifactorial such as biomechanical disorders, muscle weakness which affect the dynamic stability of lower limb and alter patellar tracking in trochlear groove. Moreover, the syndrome associated with muscular tightness of iliotibial band, gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstring and quadriceps. Strengthening and stretching exercises are effective in improving patient's symptoms. However, they do not sufficient in correction of kinematic changes associated with PFPS. Patellar mobilization is effective in improving patient'symptoms in cases with PFPS. However, studies that conducted patellar mobilization were either low quality studies or no study combined patellar mobilization with hip and knee exercises. Therefore, APTA guidelines recommended for conducting high quality study to investigate the effect of adding patellar mobilization to exercise therapy to support the definite recommendation delivered to therapists.
The primary aims of this research are three folds: (1) To identify more relatively effective interventions for improving pain symptoms in CP/CPPS patients. (2) To ascertain the correlation between PFM elastic modulus and tenderness symptoms. This may find a more objective method of assessing efficacy. (3) To determine the correlation between the intensity of the sympathetic response and the patient's symptoms and to explore other possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
The objective of this study is to explore the role of neuroticism, perceived stress, and adverse life events, respectively, in the development and perpetuation of functional somatic disorders.
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether there is a higher prevalence of anxiety-depressive disorders in women with interstitial cystitis than in women with chronic non-neoplastic pain with or without fibromyalgia, to examine possible correlations between urological and psychiatric symptoms, analyze how urological symptoms affect psychological dimension, and how specific stress or trauma can contribute to the onset of interstitial cystitis.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal disease with an annual prevalence of 22.7%. Pain in the anterior of the knee and/or retropatellar and/or peripatellar region patellofemoral compression force increases, squatting, climbing stairs, prolonged sitting is characterized by increased pain related activities such as flexion after. A large number of different treatment strategies have been proposed to examine these underlying factors and to address the resulting disorders and activity limitations. PFPS in the conservative treatment of patellar taping, stretching the shortened structures, the vastus medialis obliquus, strengthening activity modification, biofeedback, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and foot orthoses and brace is located. The most frequently used for the treatment of patients with high effect size physiotherapy treatment and exercise training combined treatment in order to control the pain in the short and medium term, while the external knee supports-foot orthoses (brace), kinesiotape, rigid-band is used. It is known that the most commonly recommended external support for patients in the fight against PFPS in the clinical setting is kinesiological taping and brace. However, since kinesiotaping does not show orthotic properties like brace, their comparison with each other and the study of their effects give misleading results. The use of McConnell taping, which can show similar effects with both kinesiotaping and brace, gives clinically positive results. When the literature was examined, there was no study that examined the effectiveness of brace and rigid taping comparatively. In our study, we aim to investigate the extent to which we can change the impaired patella position in PFPS with the use of rigid tape and brace in accordance with this information in the literature and to examine the possible effects of rigid tape and brace, which we will apply to patients with PFPS, on balance, proprioception, gait and functionality in patients. In line with the results we will obtain, it is aimed to increase the effectiveness of treatment and shorten the recovery time by determining the external support that will help patients exercise and their movements in daily life. H1: McConnell taping and patella stabilizing brace applications applied to patients with PFPS differ from each other in terms of proprioception, functionality, balance and gait parameters.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Blood Flow Restriction therapy improves patient related outcomes in those diagnosed with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome compared to those in the sham comparator control group.
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral taking of baclofen in therapeutic dosage for 60 days is equally effective as injection of botulinum toxin type "A" in the area of trigger points of the pelvic muscles.
This randomized controlled pilot study will be evaluating an app, MORT-PFPS app (ETH-01K), owned by EverEx, Inc., to examine safety and effectiveness in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The objective of this observational study is to estimate the number of weeks of welfare benefits, i.e. sickness benefit, unemployment benefit and social assistance, for individuals with functional somatic disorders and compare them to 1. healthy individuals, and 2. individuals with severe physical disease.
This is a parallel-group randomised clinical trial: Primary purpose: To analyse the clinical changes produced by two different physiotherapy treatments (Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis and Dry Needling) for myofascial trigger points in the infraspinatus muscle in subjects with non-specific shoulder pain. Hypothesis: A physiotherapy treatment including Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis therapy present greater benefits in terms of pain reduction and increased mobility and functionality rather than Dry Needling treatment in subjects with non-specific shoulder pain. The intervention consisted of 3 treatment sessions, different according to the group, once a week. Seven evaluation points were performed, two pre-intervention evaluations one week apart and after the second one the first treatment session was performed. The third and fourth assessments were prior to the second and third treatment sessions, one week apart. The fifth, sixth and seventh assessments were conducted one week, one month and two months after the last treatment session in each group.
