Effects of a Squatting With Hip Adduction in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

NCT06681961 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An imbalance in the activation and onset time of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles may be one of the primary causes of PFPS. Several studies have discussed various exercise methods believed to selectively contract the (VMO) muscle for treating patellofemoral pain syndrome. VMO activity is higher during static closed-chain tasks combined with hip adduction, indicating that performing hip adduction exercises may selectively strengthen the VMO muscle.

Conditions

  • PFPS

Interventions

OTHER

squatting with hip adduction (SQU-HA) group

The intervention comprised three sets of 15 repetitions with resting 5-min between sets, followed by IT band stretching for five repetitions. Each participant performed the respective exercise 5 days a week, with 2 days of rest, for 8 weeks.
