Summary

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting approximately 25% of active young adults, and it is frequently associated with persistent anterior knee pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Despite the widespread use of conventional face-to-face physical therapy, many patients experience barriers related to accessibility, cost, and long-term adherence to rehabilitation programs

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Interventions

Physical Therapy Approaches

All three groups (Hybrid Telerehabilitation, Pure Telerehabilitation, and Conventional Physical Therapy) followed identical exercise progressions over 6 weeks (3 sessions/week, 18 sessions total) targeting proximal hip and knee strengthening. Exercise dosage, intensity, and progression remained standardized across delivery modes to isolate rehabilitation method effects. The exercise program will progress through three phases to allow gradual restoration of strength, control, and functional ability.
