Filter by:Hip and Knee strengthening exercises are implemented in Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) rehabilitation but exercising in high loads to achieve muscle changes in strength may lead to increased patellofemoral joint stress. Low load training with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) may allow for exercise strength benefits to proximal and distal muscles with reduced joint stress and by promoting hypoalgesia. The purpose of this study is to compare hip and knee focused exercises with and without BFR training in adults with PFP. The main outcome of this study is function ability which will be measured with the Kujala Anterior Knee pain Scale translated in the Greek language at four weeks post intervention and at two months follow up. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference between groups for primary and secondary outcomes measured at four weeks and two months post intervention.
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.
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.
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.
Introduction: The patellofemoral pain syndrome (SPF) is one of the most frequent pathologies generated by the knee joint. Conservative treatment with physiotherapy exercises reduces pain and improves functional capacity in the short and medium term. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining a program of muscle strengthening exercises for the core, hip and knee on anterior knee pain in non-athletic patients with SPF. Materials and methods: Randomized controlled trial clinical trial, designed to evaluate the effect of two muscle strengthening programs in people with SPF (Group A: exercises for core, hip and knee, Group B: exercises for hip and knee), during eight weeks of intervention in people between 15 and 40 years of age, with a clinical diagnosis of SPF, with a level of mild to moderate physical activity. The Kujala test was used to measure pain and quality of life.
