简要总结
AIM:
To compare the effectiveness of core neuromuscular training and isolated hip strengthening exercises in reducing pain intensity and improving knee functional performance among patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome
OBJECTIVES
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE-
To compare the effect of core neuromuscular training and isolated hip strengthening in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE-
To evaluate whether core neuromuscular training and isolated hip strengthening are effective in improving pain intensity in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome
To evaluate core neuromuscular training and isolated hip strengthening effective in improving functionality in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome
To assess whether core neuromuscular training and isolated hip strengthening are effective in improving range & alleviating pain
Hypothesis-
Null Hypothesis [H0]:
1. There will be no significant effects of core neuromuscular training on pain & functionality of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
2. There will be no significant effect of isolated hip strengthening on pain & functionality of patellofemoral femoral pain syndrome.
3. There will be no significant difference in core neuromuscular training compared to isolated hip strengthening on pain & functionality in patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Alternate Hypothesis [H1]:
1. There will be a significant effect of core neuromuscular training on pain & functionality on patellofemoral pain syndrome.
2. There is a significant effect of isolated hip strengthening on pain & functionality in patellofemoral pain syndrome
3. There will be a significant difference in core neuromuscular training compared to isolated hip strengthening on pain and functionality in patellofemoral pain syndrome.
