Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy on pain and lower extremity function in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Conditions

Physical Therapy; Orthopedic Disorder

Keywords

Patellofemoral pain; High intensity laser therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Pain status

  Pain intensity was evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) in two conditions during activity and resting time. This method, which is developed to determine the intensity of pain to indicate by numbers. It begins with the absence of pain (0) on numerical scale and ends the level of unbearable pain

  5 minutes

• Range of motion assesment

  Universal goniometer will used to measure the joint position and joint range of motion measurements based on Kendall and American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons. The participant will in the sitting position and asked to perform active cervical region flexion, extension, right and left rotation, right and left lateral flexion of the neck movements and performed degrees will recorded

  10minutes

• Functionality

  The patients will asked to start from a sitting position in a chair, to get up at the command given, to walk the predetermined distance of 3 meters as fast as they could, and to return to their seats. The time from the time they got up from the chair and sat down again will recorded with a stopwatch. Measurements will be repeated 3 times and the average will be recorded in seconds (sec).

  5 minutes

• Muscle stength assesment

  A myometer will be used to measure the strength of the hamstring and quadriceps muscle groups of all participants. Myometer is an evaluation method that objectively evaluates muscle strength and gives more sensitive results than manual muscle testing.

  10 minutes

• Pain threshold assessment

  Pressure pain threshold measurement will be measured with an algometer device. Algometers are a device that can be used to define pressure and pressure pain threshold.

  10 minutes

• Severity and function of patellofemoral pain

  It will be evaluated with the 'Kujala patellofemoral score' system. These scoring system values range from 100 (normal, pain-free, fully functional knee) to 0 (severe knee pain and dysfunction).

  5 minutes

• Function of lower extremity

  A lower extremity function test will be used to measure lower extremity functionality. It is a test used to measure the functional status of the lower extremities.
