简要总结
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of Virtual reality rehabilitation and muscle energy techniques in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome for reducing pain, enhancing knee range of motion and improve functional activities.
详细描述
Muscle energy technique is defined as a manual treatment in which patient produces a contraction in a precisely controlled position and direction against the counterforce applied by a manual therapist. Applications of MET to stretch and increase myofascial tissue extensibility seem to affect viscoelastic and plastic tissue property.
Virtual reality generates a virtual world in three dimensional space through a computer simulation that stimulates user senses, such as sight and hearing, making users feel as if they are immersed in it. VRBR is effective in improving knee pain, ROM, strength and functions. immersive VR is more appropriate for pain reduction, improving range of motion and functional activities. It distracts the patient and allows to perform active and rehabilitation exercises to reduce cognitive attention in pain and avoidance behavior.

结局指标
主要结局
Kujala questionnaire
时间窗: 4 weeks
It is a self administered questionnaire for patients with PFPS that consists of 13 questions that relate to specified activities, pain severity, and clinical symptoms. The scores range from a maximum of 100 to a minimum of 0, with lower scores indicating greater pain and disability.
次要结局
- Goniometer(4 weeks)
- Visual analogue scale (VAS)(4 weeks)
