Summary

This study looks at whether adding core muscle exercises to a hip and knee workout can lower pain and improve knee alignment in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome (knee pain around the kneecap). Thirty-six women aged 19-35 with a healthy weight will be assigned to different exercise groups. The goal is to find a better way to ease pain and improve knee function without surgery or medication.
