Conditions

Patellofemoral Cartilage and Peripheral Knee Muscle Injury

Interventions

90°-IWS:Stand tall, leaning against the wall, with your head level and looking straight ahead. You can simply place your hands lightly on your legs, hang them by your sides, or hold them out in front
60°-IWS:Based on the distance measured in the 90° IWS, utilize two-thirds of this measurement to determine the distance between the heel and the wall for this action(60°-IWS). The criteria for all sub
45°-IWS:Based on the distance measured in the 90° IWS, utilize half of this measurement to determine the distance between the heel and the wall for this action. The criteria for all subsequent actions

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Adults aged 20-30 (the maximum age limit of 30 is to minimize the risk of early-onset or diagnosed osteoarthritis); 2.BMI<28 kg/m²; 3.No history of knee surgery; 4.No experience of any knee injuries, pain, or discomfort recently 5.Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) score=74 points; 6.No history of rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease or pregnancy; 7.Tegner Activity Scale Score=4 points.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Contraindications to MRI (cardiac stents, aneurysm stents or cochlear metal implants); 2. Knee joint injuries occurred during the trial; 3. After initial MRI examination, knee joint abnormalities were found (such as high patella, hypoplasia of the femoral trochlea, muscle edema, muscle atrophy, cartilage degeneration, and meniscal injury, etc.)
