Sponsor's own description

The aim of this randomized controlled study; To investigate the multifactorial effectiveness of core stabilization exercises applied in patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

20/60 years old/with retropatellar pain that occurs during at least two of the activities and persists for at least one month While patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) were included in the study; Patients with meniscus and ligament lesions, osteoarthritis, patellofemoral dislocation and/or subluxation history, osseous anomalies and history of knee surgery, pregnancy status, and patients using analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs will not be included in the study.

Individuals will be divided into two groups by computerized randomization. Control group; Traditional patellofemoral pain syndrome exercises, (n=20) Core stability group; Core stabilization and hip exercises will be given in addition to traditional patellofemoral pain syndrome exercises. (n=20) After obtaining the demographic information of the cases, before and after the treatment; Visual analog scale (VAS) change, Kuala scale change, Trunk forward flexion flexibility change, Hamstring muscle flexibility change, Sit-reach test change, Q angle measurement change, Normal joint movement change, McGill stabilization tests change, Timed get up and go test change, Single leg jump test change, Y balance test change, Muscle strength change will be evaluated by the same person using the Corbin Posture analysis change and Foot posture index (FPI) change parameters.

IMPLEMENTATION PROTOCOL

1. Control group; traditional patellofemoral pain syndrome exercises; isometric exercises 3 sets of 10 repetitions in one session, balance exercise 30/45 sec, one leg balance exercise 45/60 sec , stretching exercises 4 sets 5 repetitions 20 sec duration, off kinetic chain (CHC) AND open kinetic chain (ACZ) exercises were planned as 3 sets for 4 weeks and 3 days a week .
2. Core stability group; In addition to traditional patellofemoral pain syndrome exercises; hip muscle strengthening exercises are 3 sets of 10 repetitions in each session, and (core) stabilization exercises are 1st and 2nd weeks 2 sets 15 repetitions 3rd and 4th weeks 2 sets 5 repetition was planned for 4 weeks and 3 days a week.

While the patients will be exercised with a physiotherapist 1 day a week, the treatment will be followed as a home exercise program 2 days a week.
