Clinical Trial Summary

30 participants wit Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome will be included in this study.Participants will be randomly divided and divided into 2 groups: The first group contains; quadrıceps ısometrıc exercıses ın supıne posıtıon, NMES electrıcal current, soft tıssue therapy-patellar mobılısatıon and the second group contains:quadrıceps ısometrıc exercıses ın supıne posıtıon, NMES electrıcal current, soft tıssue therapy-patellar mobılısatıon and foot core exercıses (short foot exercise, towel curls, toe spread and squeeze, balance board training).

Description:

This study will be carried out in Mersin Medikalpark Hospital and this research planned as a prospective, randomized controlled trial.30 participants with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) will be included in this study.Some inclusion and exclusion criterias were determined for our study.İnclusion criterias are volunteering to participate in research,participants between 20-59 years old with PFPS will be included if they had anterior knee pain during at least 2 funtional activities including step-up and step-down, squatting,kneeling,jumping or running of at least 1 months' duration,individuals who are active for 30 minutes almost every day of the week,individuals who has with chondromalacia patella grade 1-2-3 and lateral patellar compression syndrome.Exclusion criterias are acute musculoskeletal injury affecting the lower extremity in the last 4 months, having a balance or vestibular disorder,low quality of life,limited lower extremity movements.Participants will be randomly divided and divided into 2 groups: The first group contains; quadrıceps ısometrıc exercıses ın supıne posıtıon, NMES electrıcal current, soft tıssue therapy-patellar mobılısatıon and the second group contains:quadrıceps ısometrıc exercıses ın supıne posıtıon, NMES electrıcal current, soft tıssue therapy-patellar mobılısatıon and foot core exercıses (short foot exercise, towel curls, toe spread and squeeze, balance board training).Some measurement parameters will be used in this study. VAS scale will be used to assess pain.10 meter walk test,timed up and go test, stair climb test and Internatıonal Physical Actıvıty Questionnaire(IPAQ) will be used to assess functional performance.Knee and ankle muscle test and range of motions will assessed and quality of life will evaluated with SF-36 short form scale.All measurements will be made again after 6 weeks.
