简要总结
this study show the EFFECT OF CRYOTHERAPY ON KINEMATIC GAIT PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME and review its reliability.
Participants were randomly allocated into two equal groups (A and B ) were done by a blinded independent researcher who opened enclosed envelopes containing computer generated randomization serially number index cards using statistical package for social science (SPSS),program (version 20 for windows ,spss, Chicago Illinois,USA) There were no dropouts among the participants throught the study after randomization.
详细描述
Sixty patients from both genders were participated in this study. they were selected from the outpatient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy ,Cairo University with a PFPS.
The Patients of both genders with their ages were ranging from 18 to 40 years old and their BMI was from 20 to 25 kg/m2.
Thirty patients with PFPS, Their ages ranging from 18 to 40 years old ,Their BMI was from 20 to 25 kg/m2 received treatment in form of Traditional treatment (Strengthening exercise, Stretching, ultrasound and electrotherapy). The treatment performed three time a week for 4 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Biodex Gait Trainer
时间窗: 4 weeks
treadmill with real-time step length visualization (where the foot was placed) was used to assess the selected spatiotemporal gait parameters. During the test, the patient was visually informed about the suggested foot placement/planned length of the step. This three-minute extended test was conducted before and after the rehabilitation program.
