简要总结
Anterior knee pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation within knee conditions in adolescents and young adults. However, despite the high prevalence of this disorder, its pathogenesis and therefore its treatment are not clearly understood. Foam rolling has become a common intervention to enhance joint mobility and muscle recovery after exercise. the aim of this study is analyze the effectiveness of a roller intervention in patients with anterior knee pain.
详细描述
Randomized controlled trial. patients were divided into two groups, intervention and control.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention group
10 participants will be assigned to the intervention group in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. Experimental group. Manual therapy intervention
干预措施: Manual therapy (Procedure)

10 participants will be assigned to the control group in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. Control group
结局指标
主要结局
Changes in mechanosensitivity
时间窗: Changes from baseline mechanosensitivity at 4 weeks
Mechanosensitivity is going to be assessed by a hand-held pressure algometer. The pressure will be applied perpendicular to the skin at a constant rate of 30 kPa/s until the patient felt the pressure change to pain and pressed a button defining the PPT.
次要结局
- Isokinetic strength(Baseline, 4 weeks)
- Pain intensity assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory(Baseline, 4 weeks)
- Functional knee limitation assessed by the Kujala Knee Score(Baseline, 4 weeks)
- Vertical jump assessment with a mat(Baseline, 4 weeks)
