Brief Summary

Does a rotary based triplanar exercise intervention that utilizes the trunk as a proximal lever, strengthen the hip and alter dynamic LE alignment in running females?

Conditions

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Keywords

knee; hip; exercise; proximal control; PFPS

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Hip Strength after a 12 week hip focused intervention

  Isometric hand held dynamometer

  Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Biomechanical assessment of single leg squat

  Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks

• Biomechanical Running Assessment

  Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks

Study Arms (2)

Hip

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will perform a known hip strengthening program

Other: Triplanar Rotary Resistance

Trunk

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will use the trunk as a lever to strengthen the hip

Other: Triplanar Rotary Resistance

Interventions

Triplanar Rotary Resistance OTHER

Trunk group will strengthen the hip using the trunk as a lever to access the hip. The hip group will use femur as the lever to strengthen the hip.
