Effect of Hip Adductors Isometric Contraction on Knee Extensors Isokinetic Torque in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 30 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Badr University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 35 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

the study will be done to investigate the effect of hip adduction isometric contraction on the pain level by VAS and knee extensors peak torque by using the isokinetic dynamometer in patients with unilateral patellofemoral pain syndrome

Detailed description

the study will be done to investigate the effect of isometric hip adduction that will be measured by the hand held dynamometer (the manual muscle tester) to measure the produced adduction torque and its effect on the peak torque of knee extension by the knee extensors which will be measured by the isokinetic dynamometer in addition to measuring the pain intensity before and through the assessment by using the visual analogue scale

Conditions

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	hip adduction isometric contraction	addition of isometric hip adduction contraction to the knee extension for measuring knee extension peak torque by the isokinetic dynamometer
