Summary

Non-selective closed kinetic chain exercises and or selective closed kinetic chain exercises has been shown to increase Vastus medialis obliquus muscle power in patellofemoral pain syndrome. However, the superiority of the exercises to each other has not been shown.

This study aimed to evaluating the effects of different exercises on the stiffness of the Vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis muscles, pain management, functional scores, and thigh circumferences.

Interventions

OTHER

Non-selective closed kinetic chain exercises (NSKCE) and selective closed kinetic chain exercises (SCKCE)

Non-selective closed kinetic chain double-leg semi-squat exercise In this exercise, the standing patient leans his or her back against the wall and slides down the wall until the knees are about 45 degrees flexed. Daily program was determined as 5 sessions and 10 repeats. The knee stayed at flexion position for 10 seconds in each repeat, which aimed the contraction of quadriceps muscle. There is a relaxation period for 5 seconds between each repeat. Selective closed kinetic chain double-leg semi-squat exercise with hip adduction In this exercise, the standing patient leans his or her back against the wall, forces the knees for adduction by squeezing the pillow placed between the knees and slides down the wall until the knees are about 45 degrees flexed. Daily program was determined as 5 sessions and 10 repeats.
