“…The patients with PFP were more disabled in descending stairs, standing, kneeling, and squatting. This was in accordance with the clinical symptoms of PFP, which were characterized by peripatellar pain provoked by ascending or descending stairs, squatting, or sitting with flexed knees [6,17].…”

The Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS), originally developed in English, is a valid and reliable self-reported instrument used for patients with various painful knee conditions. We adapted the KOS-ADLS to Turkish and tested its reliability and validity. We enrolled 142 patients with knee pain in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups: Group 1 (n = 75) completed the questionnaire twice a week for assessing test-retest reliability and Group 2 (n = 67) answered the questionnaire and performed additional tests for assessing validity. The intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.98 to 0.99 with high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, 0.89). Validity-related tests included pain measurement with a visual analog scale and functional tests, including time measurements for the getup-and-go and ascending/descending stairs tests. The visual analog scale score correlated with total score (r = 0.56), function total score (r = 0.53), and symptom total score (r = 0.45). The ascending/descending stairs test correlated with total score (r = 0.47), function total score (r = 0.49), and symptom total score (r = 0.31). The getup-and-go test weakly correlated with all three scores. The Turkish version of the KOS-ADLS is reliable and valid in evaluating the functional limitations of patients with knee pain.

Effects of strength training on the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome - a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Palletofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is anterior knee pain that affects around 25% of the population at some point in their lives. Muscle weakness is one of the main causal factors related to PFPS. Objective: Conduct a quantitative analysis on the effectiveness of strength training at reducing pain in PFPS sufferers. Methods: An electronic search was conducted on the MEDLINE, Pubmed, EMBASE, Lilacs and Scielo databases for studies published between January 2005 and September 2014. The following descriptors were used: "patellofemoral pain syndrome", "patellofemoral pain", "retropatellar pain", "exercise", "exercise therapy", "strength", "rehabilitation". Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effects of strength training to no exercise in terms of reducing pain among PFPS sufferers were included. Data were extracted by two independent authors using predefined quality indicators. Results: A total of 39 RCTs were initially identified in the search. However, only five met the inclusion criteria. Strength training exhibited a positive effect on PFPS (SMD = 0.85, CI: 0.45-1.25). However, high heterogeneity was observed between the studies (p < 0.05; I 2 = 68.3%). Conclusion: Strength training showed a statistically positive response in the treatment of PFPS.

“…A search strategy from the Cochrane review on exercise therapy on PFP (Heintjes et al, 2003) was used for diagnosis terms and combined with key terms glute or proximal or hip or trunk; and exercise or rehabilitation and strength or endurance or motor control. A secondary search of relevant journals identified from related published research articles was also undertaken.…”

The outcome of hip exercise in patellofemoral pain: A systematic review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common lower extremity conditions seen in clinical practice. Current evidence shows that there are hip strength deficits, delayed onset and shorter activation of gluteus medius in people with PFP. The aim of this review was to systematically review the literature to investigate the outcome of hip exercise in people with PFP.Method AMED, CINAHL, Cochrane, EMBASE, PEDro, Pubmed, Science direct and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from inception to November 2014 for RCTs, non-randomised studies and case studies. Two independent reviewers assessed each paper for inclusion and quality. ResultsTwenty one papers were identified;eighteen investigating strengthening exercise, two investigating the effect of neuromuscular exercise and one study investigated the effect of hip exercise for the prevention of PFP.Hip and knee strengthening programmes were shown to be equally effective. Limited evidence indicates that the addition of hip exercise to an exercise programme is beneficial. Limited evidence demonstrates that motor skill retraining in a participant group who displayed abnormal hip alignment in running improves pain. ConclusionThe evidence consistently demonstrated that both hip strengthening and neuromuscular exercise has a beneficial effect on pain and function in people with PFP. Strengthening exercise predominantly addressed abductor and external rotator muscle groups. 2 A consensus from PFP researchers for standardisation of methodology is recommended to enable meaningful comparison between trials.
