PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

This study compares two physical therapy treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common knee condition causing pain and dysfunction. Forty-five participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Mulligan technique, phonophoresis with chitosan gel, or standard exe…

This study compares three types of knee-strengthening exercises (isometric, isotonic, and eccentric) to see which best reduces pain and improves function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (anterior knee pain). 90 adults aged 18–40 with knee pain for at least 3 months wi…

This study tests a new type of physical therapy for patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common knee condition causing pain around the kneecap. Researchers will compare body awareness-based sensorimotor rehabilitation to standard exercises in 60 adults aged 18-45. The goal is to see i…

This study tests two different exercise programs—functional stabilization training and comprehensive corrective exercises—in 60 adults aged 18-35 with long-lasting kneecap pain and knock-knee movement. Participants will do one of the programs for several weeks, and researchers wi…

This study looks at whether adding heat therapy or contrast therapy (alternating hot and cold) to a specific exercise program helps people aged 18 to 40 with patellofemoral pain syndrome. The goal is to reduce pain and swelling, improve knee movement, and make daily activities ea…

This study tests a new digital system that uses wearable sensors and AI to guide knee rehabilitation at home. It includes 160 adults aged 18-50 with ACL tears or patellar knee pain. The goal is to see if this smart system improves knee function and reduces pain better than tradit…

This study looks at how two common leg injuries—ankle sprains and kneecap pain—affect a person's balance in different directions. Researchers will test 90 adults using a special balance machine to compare stability from front to back and side to side. The goal is to better unders…
