Summary

This study investigated the comparative effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and core strength exercises on static balance in adolescents with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).

Conditions

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
• Adolescents

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	core exercises	The core muscle strength training program were lasted for 8 weeks and comprised of 3 training sessions per week, with a total of 24 sessions. Each session were lasted for 30 to 45 minutes, starting with a brief warm-up exercise program consisting of low-intensity core strength exercises to prepare the neuromuscular system for the training loads and ending with a cool-down program
OTHER	Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation	The hold-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching protocol consisted of passively moving the dominant leg into a position where the subjects felt mild discomfort and holding that position for 30 seconds. Subjects were then asked to isometrically contract the stretched muscle for 10 seconds; this were followed by muscle relaxation in the same posi¬tion for 30 seconds, before being stretched to a new point of mild discomfort. The leg were then released
