Patellofemoral pain syndrome in women
Conditions
Interventions
The intervention will be done by submitting the research groups (60 subjects - 30 control and 30 intervention). The GI will be submitted to a six-week program of isotonic resisted exercises and neurom
- Squatting exercises in the machine and extensor chair will be performed so that there are stimuli in both closed kinetic chain and open kinetic chain movements (ELLENBECKER, 2009). The order of exec
In the six weeks of intervention, the sessions will consist of three sets of 15 repetitions in each exercise, each repetition performed with 2 seconds in both concentric and eccentric phases. The prog

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Will be submitted in the study women with anterior pain in the knee and around the patellofemoral joint; Pain reported on at least two of the following criteria: when going up and down stairs, crouch, jump, after long sitting periods, cracking or crackling, palpation pain, report pain lasting at least two months, report a maximum of 86 points on the scale anterior pain in the knee (maximum = 100 points) and pain at least three in the numerical scale of pain.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Women with any possible degenerative changes of the knee and hip, age between 18 and 45 years, subjects with previous knee and hip surgery, history of patellar dislocation, clinical evidence of knee instability, meniscal or intraarticular lesions, evidence of edema, osgood-schlatter or sinding-larsen-johanssen, patellar tendinopathy, muscular lesions, low back or sacroiliac pain and limb length difference greater than 1cm.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension, abduction and lateral hip rotation, measured from the torque peak register (N m) of the isometric knee extension movement at 60 ° by means of the lafayette hand dynamometer held ®, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. Improvement of hip and knee biomechanics analyzed from the noraxon® motion analysis system using the step down test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of pain and functionality after the proposed treatment period.Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension, abduction and lateral hip rotation, measured from the torque peak register (N m) of the isometric knee extension movement at 60 ° by means of the lafayette hand dynamometer held ®, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.
