Filter by:This study aims to determine the effect Multimodal physical therapy with and without McConnell taping on pain, functional limitation and severity of symptoms in patients with anterior knee pain.
The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive the strength training only. Group B will receive the mindfulness-exercise in addition to the strength training protocol.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare a tuberositas transposition (TTT) surgery with a home exercise program (HEP) in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of TTT in conjunction with a HEP compared to a HEP alone in patients with chronic PFPS. Participants will randomly be allocated to the surgery or HEP group. Researchers will compare the surgery and HEP groups to see if activity-related pain and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are different.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is due to dysfunctional dynamic knee valgus resulting from decrease in strength of hip abductors or abnormal rear-foot eversion with pes pronatus valgus. It is also associated with vastus medialis/vastus lateralis disbalance, hamstring tightness or iliotibial tract tightness.
Observational, ambispective, longitudinal, monocentric, open cohort study of a population of adult patients operated on for ACL reconstruction and receiving postoperative follow-up.
This research study aims to compare the effectiveness of two different exercise approaches in treating Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) in basketball players. It employs a randomized clinical trial with 32 participants aged 18-40 diagnosed with PFPS. The participants are divided into two groups: Isolated Strengthening Exercises (ISE) and Combined Strengthening Exercises (CSE). The ISE group focuses solely on quadriceps strengthening exercises, while the CSE group incorporates both quadriceps and proximal strengthening exercises for the hip and core muscles. Outcome measures include pain levels, functionality, and physical performance assessments recorded at baseline and after 6 weeks. Statistical analysis using independent t-tests in SPSS will determine which approach is more effective. This study seeks to provide evidence on whether the combination of proximal strengthening exercises enhances the reduction of pain and improvement in functionality for basketball players with PFPS, compared to isolated strengthening exercises alone.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), also known as runner's knee, is a common knee condition characterized by pain and discomfort in the front of the knee, specifically around the patella (kneecap) and the surrounding area. The causes for anterior knee pain are multifactorial like overuse, muscle imbalances abnormal tracking of the patella, biomechanical issues, and improper alignment of the lower limbs. Activities that involve repetitive knee motion, such as running, jumping, squatting, or climbing stairs, can exacerbate the condition . The PFPS may cause aching pain around the front of the knee , especially when sitting for long periods, squatting, or climbing stairs, Pain worsens with activities that involve bending the knee, popping or grinding sensation in the knee and swelling or inflammation around the knee in some cases.
The primary aim of this randomized control trial is to investigate patients' with anterior knee pain if a neuromuscular training program (NMT) has better results in pain and functionality, than an ordinary progressive resistance training program (PRT). Pain will be measured via a visual analog scale for pain (VAS) and functionality via questionnaires such as Kujala and the Greek version of the Modified Baecke Questionnaire (mBQ) and functional tests such as the Anterior Lunge test, Step up/down, squat, balance and reach test. The secondary aims are to investigate the: 1. Hip and knee muscles strength, which will be measured with the Kinvent K-Push dynamometer. Strength will be measured before and after the rehabilitation programs (at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention). 2. Balance, will also be measured to see the effects of the NMT program. 3. Kinesiophobia, which will be measured with the Tampa Scale 4. Dynamic Knee Valgus, via the Single Leg Landing and Single Leg Squat tests
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of mulligan pain release phenomenon with or without Tapping in management of Patellofemoral pain syndrome
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Mulligan mobilization with and without dry needling on pain, range of motion, flexibility, functional disability and muscle strength in patients with Runner's Knee.
