Summary

Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common knee condition that causes pain around or behind the kneecap, especially during activities such as walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or prolonged sitting. This condition can affect daily activities, movement quality, and psychological well-being.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a body awareness-based sensorimotor rehabilitation program on pain behavior, movement quality, and psychosocial outcomes in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving body awareness-based sensorimotor rehabilitation or a control group receiving conventional physiotherapy exercises. The rehabilitation program will focus on improving body awareness, posture, balance, and controlled movement patterns.

Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention period. The main outcomes include changes in pain-related behaviors, movement quality, and psychosocial status.

The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on whether body awareness-based sensorimotor rehabilitation can be an effective approach for managing patellofemoral pain and improving both physical and psychological aspects of function.

Interventions

Sensorimotor Rehabilitation

Sensorimotor rehabilitation is a physiotherapy approach that aims to improve the integration of sensory input and motor output to enhance movement control and functional performance. It focuses on optimizing how the nervous system processes sensory information (such as proprioception, balance, and tactile input) to produce efficient and coordinated movements. This approach includes exercises that target postural control, balance, joint position sense, and neuromuscular coordination. The main goal is to restore normal movement patterns, reduce compensatory strategies, and improve functional stability during daily and sports-related activities. Sensorimotor rehabilitation is commonly used in the management of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving movement dysfunction, pain, and impaired motor control, such as knee pain and patellofemoral pain syndrome.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy Exercise Program

A structured conventional physiotherapy exercise program including strengthening, flexibility, balance, and functional movement exercises based on standard rehabilitation principles. The program is supervised by a physiotherapist and applied according to routine clinical exercise protocols.
