Summary

This study tests whether a 6-week telerehabilitation program (done at home with remote guidance) works as well as in-person rehab for people with patellofemoral pain, a common knee condition. About 106 adults aged 18-45 will be randomly assigned to either remote or face-to-face sessions. The goal is to see if remote care is not inferior for improving pain and knee function, while also being more convenient.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
telerehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote rehab is a good alternative to in-person sessions, saving time and travel for people with knee pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (106 people) testing non-inferiority, so results may not apply to everyone. Remote rehab may not work as well for some individuals.
