Effects of Routine Physical Therapy With and Without Core Stability Exercises in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome -a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Core stability exercises and Conventional Physical Therapy for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of routine physical therapy with and without core stability exercises on pain and range of motion, in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. The spine, abdominal region, pelvis, hips, and proximal lower extremities, are defined as the core of the body. The effects of core muscle strengthening have been proven as an effective method of management in various cases. The knee is the frequently injured joint in core instability with the decreased hip strength. Deficiency in the control of the neuromuscular system of the body's trunk or "core" may affect the stability of the lower extremity, which can lead to injury in the tibiofemoral or patellofemoral joints.
