Summary

Purpose: to investigate the effect of proximal stability on PF OA. Methods: Thirty patients 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 proximal stability exercise. All patients will be evaluated for muscular recruitment strategies (onset and duration) of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair descent. pre and post-treatment.

Conditions

  • Chondromalacia Patellae

Interventions

OTHER

traditional knee rehabilitation program

Patients in this group will receive a traditional therapeutic knee rehabilitation program in the form of mini-squatting exercise (up to 45 degree knee flexion measured by a universal goniometer) , strengthening of hip abductors and external rotators

OTHER

proximal stabilization

the principles of proximal 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.
