Summary

Purpose: to investigate the effect of core stability on PF OA. Methods: Thirty-one females with PF OA will be recruited. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups, group A and group B . Patients in both groups will receive a traditional physical therapy treatment, but group (B) will receive additional core stability exercise. All patients will be evaluated for pain, functional performance, and muscular recruitment strategies (onset and duration) of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair ascent. pre and post-treatment.

Conditions

  • Chondromalacia Patellae

Interventions

OTHER

a traditional therapeutic knee rehabilitation program

mini-squatting exercise and clamshell exercise

OTHER

core stability exercise

the principles of core stability will be explained to patients before initiation of treatment and patients will be asked to comply with these principles during exercise. These principles include learning how to activate transversus abdominus by abdominal bracing without allowing pelvis tilting and ensure neutral spine and diaphragmatic breathing during exercise.
