Brief Summary:
To study the effect of adding BFRT to strengthening exercises and compare it with strengthening exercises alone in improving muscular strength pain function joint position sense and dynamic balance test star excursion test in patients with PFPS
Detailed Description:
Background Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome PFPS is a common condition characterized by anterior knee pain particularly affecting individuals aged 15-30 It often involves lower limb muscle weakness particularly in the quadriceps which can exacerbate symptoms and affect functional performance Blood Flow Restriction Training BFRT has shown promise in enhancing muscle strength and functional outcomes with reduced intensity compared to traditional high-intensity training
Purpose This study aims to compare the efficacy of combining BFRT with traditional strengthening exercises versus using strengthening exercises alone in improving muscular strength pain function joint position sense and dynamic balance in patients with PFPS
Methods A triple-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Almenshawy General Hospital Tanta Egypt Fifty patients with unilateral non-traumatic PFPS aged 18-35 were randomly assigned to either a strengthening exercises group SE Group or a BFRT plus strengthening exercises group BFRT Group Both groups underwent a 6-week intervention with three sessions per week Outcomes assessed included quadriceps and hip abductors strength pain severity Visual Analog Scale functional status Kujala Patellofemoral Score joint position sense measured by digital inclinometer and dynamic balance Star Excursion Balance Test
