Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of Virtual reality rehabilitation and muscle energy techniques in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome for reducing pain, enhancing knee range of motion and improve functional activities.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
  • Knee Pain Chronic

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual Reality technique

They would be receiving treatment as follow: Specific exercises by using virtual reality with conventional treatment. The VR game included holopoint,hot squat and portal stories that will target the hamstring, quadriceps and gluteas muscles.Frequency: 3 times/week for 4 weeks Intensity: moderate intensity (pain free) Time: 20 mins Type: virtual reality gaming exercises Conventional PT including patellar mobilization+ ultrasound on anterior knee in supine lying + stretching of ITB . Frequency: 10 reps with 5 sec hold for 3 times/week for 4 weeks Intensity: moderate-high intensity (depending on pain tolerance) Time: 10 mins

OTHER

Muscle energy technique

They would be receiving treatment as follow: Muscle energy technique of quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Frequency: 3 times/week for 4 weeks Intensity: moderate intensity (pain free) Time: 20 mins Type: Muscle energy technique to improve range of motion. Conventional PT including patellar mobilization + ultrasound on anterior knee in supine lying + stretching of ITB. Frequency: 10 reps with 5 sec hold for 3 times/week for 2 weeks Intensity: moderate-high intensity (depending on pain tolerance) Time: 10 mins
