The Effect of Hip Strengthening Exercises and Taping in Patients With PFP With Dynamic Valgus

Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of isolated quadriceps and hip strengthening exercises and both strengthening exercises and mulligan knee taping technique on pain, functional level and balance in patients with dynamic knee valgus and patellofemoral pain. In addition, in the groups investigators will create as randomized controlled, investigators give only strengthening exercise to one group and apply both exercise and taping to the other group and to investigate whether Mulligan taping, which is applied in addition to exercise in the treatment, has an effect on valgus correction, pain, functional level and balance, and contributes to the literature. It will also become clear how effective the strengthening exercises will be in correcting the dynamic valgus, how much participants will reduce patellofemoral pain, and whether they have an effect on the functional level and balance. There are not enough studies in the literature on strengthening exercises in patients with patellofemoral pain with dynamic valgus. İnvestigators will contribute to the literature by evaluating the effect of hip and quadriceps strengthening exercises on dynamic knee valgus and patellofemoral pain with 2D video analysis method and evaluating the results concretely. In addition to the strengthening exercises that investigators will apply to the other group, our other research target is to evaluate the Mulligan knee taping technique with 2D video analysis method and to investigate whether Mulligan knee taping treatment has an effect on the correction of dynamic valgus.

Conditions

• Patellofemoral Pain
• Valgus Deformity

Interventions

PROCEDURE

neuromuscular control exercise

All of the 17 participants participating in the study will be included in the 6-week exercise program investigators created after the initial evaluations. Exercises will be done 3 times a week, 10 sets of each exercise. And the participants will be given a rest period of 3 minutes between each set.1st and 2nd (5 times) week exercise program: Non-weight bearing exercises will be given in the first week; lateral hip abduction, clam shell exercises, and bridging exercises. 3rd and 4th week (5 times) exercises: This week investigators will give controlled weight lifting exercises:pelvic drop exercise, single leg squat exercise,step down exercise,single leg raise exercise. 4th and 5 th week exercise: lateral band walks, side lunges, forward lunges, and back lunges. 5 th and 6 th week exercise: Plyometric exercises: jump exercise, BOSU single knee scales exercise,resistive single leg squats,resisting vertical bridge.

PROCEDURE

neuromuscular control exercise and taping

Exercises and taping will be done 3 times a week, 10 sets of each exercise. Mulligan Knee Taping Application: The application was made with Protape 38mm x 10 m rigid tape. The application will be performed in the participant's foot, with the hip and knee in internal rotation, and the knee in 20º flexion. The tape will be applied starting from the head of the fibula, passing over the tibia anteriorly, passing under the medial joint line of the knee and ending at the back of the knee, bringing the tibia to internal rotation.
