简要总结
This observational study aims to determine the effects of combined physiotherapy programs and education in patellofemoral pain syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Are there any effects of combined physiotherapy program among individuals with PFPS on:
i) Pain ii) Muscle functions (strength, muscle bulk, flexibility) iii) Knee muscle functional performance (anteromedial lunge, step-down, bilateral squat, and balance and reach) iv) Kinesiophobia v) Quality of life Participants will be
- Measure for the anthropometrics data including body weight, height, and BMI.
- Answer the Numerical Pain Rating scale
- Abswe Malay version of KOOS-PF and TAMPA scale.
- Once they finished with the questionnaire, the participants will be stationed into station 1 (HDD), station 2 (Realtime Ultrasound) and station 3 (Dartfish Motion Analysis) Treatment they will receive
- Blood flow restrictions cuff with physiotherapy exercises
- Patient education Researcher will compare Blood flow exercises combined with physiotherapy exercises and education (Group A) with Physiotherapy exercises (Group B) to see if there is an effect on i) Pain ii) Muscle Functions (strength, muscle bulk, flexibility iii) Functional performance (anteromedial lunge, step-down, bilateral squat, balance, and reach) iv) Kinesiophobia v) Quality of life
详细描述
The participants who volunteered will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Prior to the assessments and examinations, the physiotherapist in charge will explain the study and will get consent from the participants. This study will follow the Consort RCT 2010 guidelines.
Then the participants will go into randomization sequence before they go into the interventions. The participants will go into block randomization. The participants will be blocks into color (Blue for Experimental group, Red for control group). This study will be double blinded. The blinded person will be the accessors and the participants.
Then they will complete the demographic questionnaire which will include questions on personal data, health status, medical illness, past medical history, simple questions on their pain, site of pain with the assistance by the researchers to read the questions as most of the participants is illiterate.
Then the participants will be measure for the anthropometric data including body weight, height and BMI.
The participants will answer the Numerical Pain Rating scale, KOOS-PF Malay version and TAMPA scale. Then they will proceed with station 1 (HHD which measure strength), station 2 (Real time ultrasound which measure muscle bulk) and then station 3 (Dartfish motion analysis for knee functional performance test (anteromedial lunge, step-down, single-leg press, bilateral squat, and balance and reach) using the Dartfish software.

结局指标
主要结局
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF)
时间窗: 4 months
The KOOS-PF subscale is used to assess pain and function in the patellofemoral joint. The 11-point KOOS-PF, which was created in collaboration with healthcare professionals, demonstrated adequate measuring qualities and is recommended for clinical and research usage in patients suffering from patellofemoral pain
Tampa Scale
时间窗: 4 months
The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TSK) is a self-assessment measure used to determine a person's fear of movement-related pain who suffers from musculoskeletal discomfort
Numerical Pain Rating
时间窗: 4 months
On a Numerical Pain Rating Scale, often known as an NPRS, patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10, 0 and 20, or 0 and 100 that most properly portrays the intensity of pain that they are experiencing
Hand held dynamometer (HDD)
时间窗: 4 months
The examiner holds a small portable gadget against the patient's limb during a maximal isometric contraction. The equipment can test both the proximal and distal muscles of all extremitie
Knee Muscle performance Test with Dartfish software
时间窗: 4 months
Dartfish data will be used to process the action of anteromedial lunge, step-down, bilateral squat, and balance and reach during simultaneous digital video acquisition. In other words, Dartfish programme will generate data. All of these movements will be measured with Dartfish software
Real time ultrasounds
时间窗: 4 months
The thickness and length of the superficial quadriceps muscles (VMO, VL, VL, and RF).
