Hip & Knee Focused Exercises for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome .
Effect of adding short foot exercise to hip and knee focused exercises in treatment of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.
J Orthop Surg Res . 2024 Apr 1;19(1):207.Twenty-eight patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomized to receive either short foot exercises combined with hip and knee exercises (n=14) or hip and knee exercises alone (n=14). The primary outcome of interest was pain reduction. Secondary outcomes included improvements in function, balance, hip abductor strength, and quadriceps muscle strength. Outcomes were assessed over six weeks. Overall, the results revealed that adding SFE significantly improved pain, function, and mediolateral stability compared to the control group. This suggests that incorporating SFE can enhance rehabilitation outcomes for PFPS patients.
