简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 10 week exercise rehabilitation program decreases anterior knee oain (PFPS) and improves function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Individuals (age 18-50) with PFPS will be recruited to participate in this study to see if a 10 week exercise program focusing in core and hip strengthening, lower extremity strengthening foot intrinsic strengthening can decrease pain and increase function.
详细描述
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a very prevalent condition that presents in great number to patients in physician's offices and has a high recurrence rate. Physical therapy and exercise therapy to strengthen the quadriceps is often prescribed, however recurrence is common. It is hypothesized that PFPS patients have core weakness, hip strength abnormalities and neuromuscular control deficits.

结局指标
主要结局
Kujala Scale for Anterior Knee Pain
时间窗: 10 Weeks
13 item knee specific self report questionnaire that documents response to six activities thought to be associated specifically with anterior knee pain syndrome (walking, running, jumping, climbing stairs, squatting and sitting for prolonged periods with knees bent, as well as symptoms such as limp, inability to weight bear through affected the affected limb, swelling, abnormal patellar movement, muscle atrophy and limitation of knee flexion. The maximum score is 100 and lower scores indicate greater pain/disability.
