“…The utilization of exercises in the treatment program is supported by evidence 12 ) . The common goal of rehabilitation management in PFPS patients is to address the pain and thereby improve the physical function 13 ) . The physical therapists or clinicians use self- reported assessment of pain and function to check the effectiveness of various physical therapy interventions.…”

Effectiveness of core muscle strengthening for improving pain and dynamic balance among female patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome

[Purpose] Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a frequent musculoskeletal disorder, which can result from core muscles instability that can lead to pain and altered dynamic balance. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of core muscle strengthening on pain and dynamic balance in female patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty female patients with age ranging from 16 to 40 years with patellofemoral pain syndrome were divided into study (N=10) and control (N=10) groups. Both groups were given 4 weeks of conventional physical therapy program and an additional core muscle strengthening for the study group. The tools used to assess the outcome were Visual Analogue Scale and Star Excursion Balance Test. [Results] The results of the study show that participants in the study group revealed a significantly greater improvement in the intensity of pain and dynamic balance as compared to the control group. [Conclusion] Adding a core muscle-strengthening program to the conventional physical therapy management improves pain and dynamic balance in female patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

FPPA is related to knee pain severity [12], the prediction of PFP [13], and the interaction between hip abductor isometric torque [14]. Also, passive hip internal rota tion range of movement predicts the occurrence of high FPPA during single leg squatting [14].…”

“…In a recent study, deficits of strength (28%, approxi mately) were observed on hip extensors in women with PFP compared with the control group [11]. Another study suggested an association between gluteus maxi mus weakness and PFP [12]. Additionally, a system atic review with metaanalysis showed inconclusive outcomes to determine whether deficits in hip muscle strength are predisposing factors or a consequence of PFP [16].…”

Purpose. To investigate how the activation of gluteus maximus and gluteus medius interacts with different frontal plane projec tion angles (FPPA) in healthy young women presenting dynamic knee valgus in one limb while performing the stepdown test. Methods. The total of 18 young women presenting FPPA > 15° during the stepdown test in one limb (dynamic knee valgus) were assessed. The other limb should present less than 15° for comparisons. The amplitude of muscle activation was assessed through surface electromyography of gluteus medius and gluteus maximus during 8 subsequent weight bearing stepdown tests. Results. FPPA was positively correlated with gluteus maximus activation and with the assessed side showing FPPA > 15°, which also revealed increased activation of gluteus maximus. No differences were noted for gluteus medius. The principal component analysis explained 73% of the variance in 2 components, with gluteus maximus explaining 48% of the variance on the 1st component. Gluteus medius explained 25% on the 2nd component. Conclusions. Gluteus maximus seems to be a major component to explain dynamic knee valgus in women without symptoms of patellofemoral pain, probably owing to weakness and lack of stabilization of other proximal muscles of the hipknee complex during the task.
