Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine the comparative effects of perturbation and functional stabilization training on pain, balance, and performance in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome(PFPS). Patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the well known causes of anterior knee joint pain. Proximal and distal joint muscle imbalances are the most predisposing factors in knee pain especially knee cap. Anterior knee pain Increase during flexion of the knee, i.e., jumping, running, squatting and descending stairs. PFPS have a crucial impact on balance and functional activities, particularly for young athletes under the age 40. Individuals with PFPS manifest abnormalities in the dynamic and kinematic balance of the lower extremity. Participants between the age of 18-30 with knee pain and have difficulty performing the activities. Perturbation training is the part of the neuromuscular training program include the balancing activities that test the balance during the rehabilitation program. Functional stabilization training is used to improve the muscle control and strength. This particular program focuses on improving balance and determining the effect of training on prformance and balance of athletes with PFPS.
