Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected Primary outcome measure : Significant decrease in the intensity of knee pain mesured by visual analogue scale (VAS)during stair descent imediately after the Physical therapy Intervention.;Primary outcome measure found: Significant decrease in the intensity of knee pain mesured by visual analogue scale during stair descent imediately after the Physical therapy Intervention (VASbefore =2,5±2,3 cm, VASafter = 0,7±1,7 cm, Cohen's effect size=0,90, p=0,00). ;Expected Primary outcome measure : Modification of the knee, ankle and foot movements during stair descent immediately after the intervention , measured a six camera motion capture system (VICON, Oxford Metrics Limited; UK) that evaluated the 3D knee kinematics , ankle and foot during the down stairs.;Primary outcome found: A decrease in the peak knee flexion(peak knee flexion before =25,9±6,8 degrees , peak knee flexion after = 20,9±4,4 degrees, Cohen's effect size=0,89, p=0,00).An increase in ankle extension (Extension before=-4,2±3,3 degrees, Extension after = -8,8±4,1 graus, Cohen's effect size=1,24 p=0,00)and decrease in the ankle inversion (Inversion before =-15,0±6,2 degrees, Inversion after = -10,7±4,5 degrees, Cohen's effect size=0,82, p=0,03)and aduction (Aduction before =-7,7±4,2 degrees, Aduction after = -3,4±3,5 degrees, Cohen's effect size=1,11, p=0,03) immediately after intervention . There was an increase in forefoot eversion after physical therapy intervention (Eversion before =2,9±5,2 degrees, Eversion after = 4,1±6,3 degrees, Cohen's effect size=0,20, p=0,01).—
