Primary | Pain Intensity | Intensity patellofemoral pain before the treatment is evaluated after treatment and monitoring. The pain scale was removed by the KOOS scale (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score): Pain levels were assessed: absent, mild or occasional pain climbing stairs, while driving, occasional moderate, moderately severe, severe. Being 0 to 50 points = severe pain (no pain). | up to 3 months follow up | Yes |
Secondary | IKDC (International Knee Documentation - Committee). | It is an instrument to assess symptoms, function, and sport activity applicable to a variety of conditions of the knee. Validated for a variety of knee conditions including ligament, meniscal and articular cartilage injuries and also for osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain. | up to 3 months follow up | Yes |
Secondary | KSS (Knee Society Score). | It is the modified scale of the American Knee Society. It makes it possible to separate the purely functional aspects of the knee joint, knee score, from those related to the patient's ability to walk and climb stairs, functional score. It includes three main parameters (pain, stability and range of motion) and other parameters (contraction of flexion, loss of extension and alignment) considered as deductions to score of the former, possibly presenting some interobserver variation. |
up to 3 months follow up | Yes |
Secondary | KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score). | It assesses five dimensions: pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreational activity and quality of life related to the knee. To evaluate osteoarthritis in older patients, the 24 WOMAC questions are included. | up to 3 months follow up | Yes |
