研究概览
简要总结
The study aims to explore the effect of body position (side-lying versus standing) on hip abductors muscle strength and activation in individuals with and without PFPS and then to compare these measures between the two groups in each position
详细描述
A cross-sectional comparative study involving 44 subjects (22 subjects with PFPS and 22 healthy controls), aged 18-35 years. The study will measure hip abductor muscle strength (Peak torque, Maximal total work) using the Biodex Isokinetic System 4 PRO and muscle activity (%MVC) of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor fascia lata using Surface EMG (Noraxon Ultium EMG). Measurements will be taken in both standing and side-lying positions.
