Summary

the aim of study is to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI), age, duration of symptoms, pain severity and knee angle valgus on patient̕̕s response to proximal control exercises.

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Prediction Rule

proximal control exercises

study investigates the effectiveness of proximal control exercises for patients with PFPS in improving pain and function. The findings of this systematic review are consistent with previous evidence reporting effectiveness of exercise for PFPS. In particular, there is consistent moderate to high quality evidence (three RCT, one CCT, three cohort studies, and one case series) that proximal interventions provide relief of pain and improved function in the short term, whereas the knee programs have variable effectiveness. Physical therapists should consider using proximal interventions for early stage treatment for PFPS (Peters et al., 2013). After 4 weeks of a combined knee and hip strengthening exercise program, sedentary females with PFPS had a greater reduction in pain during stair descent compared to the group who performed knee strengthening exercises only. Both groups also showed significant improvement in function and pain during stair ascent (Fakuda et al., 2010).
