Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this single centered, participant and assessor blinded parallel group Randomized Clinical Trial is to examine the effectiveness of ESWT with isometric exercises against UST with isometric exercises to improve pain and morphological characteristics which are primary outcome that measures through Pressure Algometer or Anterior Knee Pain Scale and USG and functional activity which is secondary outcome that measures through Lower Extremity Functional Scale with the patient of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
The expected result of this study will be the ESWT with isometric exercise will be effective for pain reducing and significant changes can be found in morphological characteristics.
