The Patellofemoral Pain Functional Performance Study

NCT02914574 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 21

Last updated 2018-03-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study primarily aims to investigate arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), an underlying mechanism in patellofemoral pain (PFP), which remain to date understudied. Although, studies have revealed that AMI needs to be eliminated before improvements in muscle strength can be achieved, to date quadriceps muscle inhibition in patients with PFP remains understudied. To date the influence of AMI on functional performance and the direct link to pain in patients with PFP remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the link between AMI to pain, functional performance and how an acute treatment can affect functional performance and pain.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain
  • Anterior Knee Pain

Interventions

OTHER

PowersTM strap

The powers strap aims to decrease knee varus through supporting femoral abduction and external rotation. Participants will wear the Powers strap while performing functional tasks (running, squatting, single leg step down).
