Protonics Knee Brace Versus Hamstring Resisted Exercise (HRE) on Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome — HRE  

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effects of Protonics Knee Brace Versus Hamstring Resisted Exercise on Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

ProtonicsTM Knee brace has been suggested as an intervention for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). However, the effectiveness of this knee brace compared to traditional conservative methods knee rehabilitation is lacking. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effect of ProtonicsTM knee brace vs. sports cord on knee pain and function in patients with PFPS.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this graduate student research study was to compare the effect of ProtonicsTM knee brace vs. sports cord on knee pain and function in patients with PFPS.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Loma Linda University.

Participants: Subjects with patellofemoral pain will participate in the study.

Intervention: Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment groups, the ProtonicsTM knee brace or the sport cord to complete a series of resistance exercises over the course of 4 weeks.

Main Outcome Measures: Both groups will be evaluated according to the following clinical outcomes: Anterior pelvic tilt (APT), hip internal/external rotation, and iliotibial band flexibility. The following functional outcomes were also assessed: Global Rating of Change (GROC) scale, the Kujala score, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and the lateral step-down test. ;
