Filter by:Knee pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in the United States. Conservative treatments generally consist of pharmacological agents and physical therapy. Unfortunately, such conservative care is often mismanaged, and little data is collected on clinical outcomes. The proposed investigation utilizes a novel and state-of-the-art mobile application (DETP) to guide an at-home exercise therapy program for non-operative knee pain. The purpose of this study is conducting a single-blind randomized, controlled, superiority study to compare the DETP to conventional physical therapy (PT). The investigators will seek to determine improvement in pain and function in PROMIS measures as the primary outcome. The investigators will also evaluate satisfaction with the application as a secondary outcome.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PPS) is common in athletes, especially when performing jumps. To reduce pain and improve functionality, orthoses such as the infrapatellar strip (IPS) and functional bandage (FB) are indicated, but their effects are controversial. The objective is to evaluate the effect of IPS and FB on lower limb pain, agility, balance and strength in athletes with PPS. Will be evaluated 25 athletes with PPS (10 women and 15 men), who will answer the sample characterization questionnaires, pain scale and performed the Side Hope Test (SHT), modified star excursion balance test (SEBTm) and Sit to Stand 30 in seconds (STS30 ") to analyze lower limb agility, balance and strength, respectively. Three repetitions of each functional test will be performed, with an interval of one minute between repetitions and tests. Still, the tests will be developed with IPS, with FB and without any orthosis, with previously randomized sequence. Expected to establish the effects of IPS and FB for athletes with PPS.
The aim of this research was to determine the effects of tibiofemoral joint mobilization in patients of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Tibiofemoral joint mobilization effects on pain and Range of Motion (ROM) in knee joint. A randomized controlled trial was done at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar and Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar. The sample size was 52. The Participants were divided into two groups, 26 participants in experimental group and 26 in control group. The study duration was 4 months. Sampling technique applied was purposive non probability sampling technique. Only 25 to 35 years participants with patellofemoral pain syndrome were included. Tools used in this study were Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), Kujala Score Questionnaire, Goniometer and Algometer.
This study intends to determine the effects of MWM verses Mulligan knee taping on patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Ninety patients are involved in this study, who underwent arthroscopic lateral patellar release for lateral patellar compression syndrome and they had patellofemoral degenerative lesion, which diagnoses by MRI preoperatively and proved by arthroscopic examination to be early stages of degenerative changes with no loss of articular surface. The patients were divided in to two groups (A and B). Group A (45 patients) were treated by local injection of Hyaluronic acid intraarticularly, and Group B (45 patients) were no injection intraarticular.
The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in lateral hip muscle strength as well as self-reported pain during the performance of three functional tests in patients with anterior knee pain following a lumbopelvic thrust-mobilization. Hypothesis(es): Lumbar thrust-mobilization will lead to increased lateral hip strength and decreased anterior knee pain during 3 functional activities (single leg step down, functional squat, drop jump).
This study aims to determine the neural correlates of knee motor control in young females with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Each participant will attend a single study visit which may last up to 3 hours.
The overall objective of this project is to compare two self-managed treatment regimens for PFPS: (1) NMES-Exercise supplemented with high BFR LOP of 80% and (2) NMES Exercise augmented with a low percentage of BFR LOP at 20 mmHG (BFR-sham). Each of the two treatment arms will perform a fixed exercise protocol singularly and in combination with BFR-NMES, and NMES alone. The specific aims of the study are 1) To determine whether self-managed NMES-Exercise program supplemented with a high BFR of 80% LOP (limb occlusion pressure) is significantly more efficacious than NMES-Exercise with low BFR LOP set at 20 mmHG (sham) in improving muscle strength of the lower extremity, daily physical activity and mobility; and 2) To determine whether NMES-Exercise with high LOP BFR therapy improves QOL and PFPS symptoms significantly more than NMES-Exercise with low LOP BFR.
The aim of the study is to compare, in patients with patellofemoral joint disorders, the values related to the bone indexes of this joint, obtained from CT performed both in orthostatism and clinostatism
The present study will consist of evaluating the effect of applying an exercise protocol on a vibratory platform in order to provoke immediate influences in the affected systems and in the quality of life of the patients with patella-femoral pain.
