Brief Summary:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome PFPS is a common knee disorder affecting physically active people Despite the growing base of support for the early introduction of hip strengthening exercises into the rehabilitation of PFPS there have been few randomized clinical trials comparing isolated hip to isolated quadriceps strengthening The purpose of this study is to determine how different exercises affect pain strength muscle activity and function in female subjects with patellofemoral pain The researchers hypothesize that females diagnosed with PFPS who initially participate in a hip strengthening program will report a greater perceived level of function greater strength less pain and improved neuromuscular activity than those who participate in a progressive quadriceps strengthening intervention
Detailed Description:
Methods Thirty-three females with PFPS will perform either initial hip strengthening hip group or initial quadriceps strengthening quad group for 4 weeks prior to 4 weeks of a similar program of functional weight-bearing exercises Self-reported pain function and functional strength were measured Isometric strength was assessed for hip abductors external rotators and knee extensors A mixed-model analysis of variance will be used to determine group differences over time
