Abstract

The purpose of this study was to see the comparative effectiveness of core muscle strengthening versus quadriceps muscle strengthening in the patients of patellofemoral pain syndrome to reduce pain and increase Range of Motion (ROM). 36 patients who fulfilled the selection criteria were enrolled in the study. Written informed contest was taken from each individual participating in this prior to performing any examination. Patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome were divided randomly into three groups. In ‘group A’ Core muscles strengthening exercises were applied. In ‘group B’ quadriceps muscles strengthening exercises were applied. In ‘group C’ Conventional Physiotherapy was applied. Allocation of patients in three groups had done by computerized generated list. All groups received conventional therapy, which was remain same throughout the study. The conventional therapy included knee isometrics and hot pack for 15 minutes. Group A subjects were treated with conventional therapy and core muscle strengthening. Group B subjects were treated with conventional therapy and quadriceps muscles strengthening. Group C subjects were treated only with conventional therapy. Treatment frequency will be 3 times a week. The duration of treatment was b 3 weeks in all groups. Informed consent was taken from each patient and Performa was filled. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Anterior knee pain scale (AKPS) used for scoring. Group A showed marked improvement and significant results as p value is less than 0.05 than group B and group C. When treating patellofemoral pain syndrome, strengthening the core muscles is more efficient at reducing pain and enhancing functional abilities than strengthening the quadriceps. The result of this study proved that core muscle strengthening with conventional therapy was more effective than quadriceps muscle strengthening with conventional therapy and conventional therapy only.
