Live Feedback to Increase Adherence in Adolescents With Patellofemoral Pain

Efficacy of Live Feedback to Increase Objectively Monitored Adherence to Prescribed, Home-based, Exercise Therapy-dosage in 15 to 19 Year Old Adolescents With Patellofemoral Pain. A Randomized Controlled Superiority Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)
• Sponsor: Aalborg University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 15 Years – 19 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

This study investigates if live feedback during home-based exercises will improve the ability to perform the exercises with the prescribed time under tension (TUT) per repetition compared with no feedback among adolescents with patellofemoral pain. The hypothesis is that adolescents who receive live feedback from BandCizer™ will have a mean TUT that is significantly closer to the prescribed TUT compared to the group not receiving feedback during the course of the intervention.

Conditions

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
• Musculoskeletal Disorders
• Joint Diseases

Interventions
