简要总结
This comparative study is designed to evaluate and contrast the effects of three region specific rehabilitation protocols hip strengthening core stability and ankle foot exercises on pain intensity and functional performance in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Participants diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome will be allocated to one of the three exercise groups and will undergo a structured and progressive exercise program for six weeks. Pain and functional outcomes will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale and the Anterior Knee Pain Scale before and after the intervention. The primary purpose of the protocol is to determine which exercise approach produces the greatest improvement in pain reduction and functional ability. The study hypothesizes that significant differences will exist among the three exercise protocols with hip core or ankle focused exercises demonstrating varying levels of effectiveness in managing patellofemoral pain syndrome.
