Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Contractile properties of Quadriceps muscle for 30 runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome

  Will be assessed using Tensiomayography

  measured at the baseline as it is a cross sectional study

• Anteromedial lunge Functional Performance Test designed for 30 runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome

  Anteromedial lunge test will be performed by each athlete for 3 trails with a 3 min recovery period between .

  measured at the baseline as it is a cross sectional study

• Step-down Functional Performance Test designed for 30 runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome

  Step-down test will be performed by each athlete for 3 trails with a 3 min recovery

  measured at the baseline as it is a cross sectional study

• Balance and reach Functional Performance Test designed for 30 runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome

  Balance and reach test will be performed by each athlete for 3 trails with a 3 min recovery

  measured at the baseline as it is a cross sectional study

Study Arms (1)

Study Group

Athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome will be selected Muscle contractile properties and functional performance will be assessed for athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome . Data will be collected from all athletes regarding age, gender, training intensity running experience and previous injuries. By the end of the assessment it will be detected if muscle contractile properties of vastus medialis and vastus lateralis is a determinant factor that influence functional performance in runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Device: Tensiomayography (TMG)

Interventions

Tensiomayography (TMG) DEVICE

Quadriceps muscle contractile properties will be assessed using tensiomayography
