Brief Summary

Purposes of the study To investigate the effect of adding Short foot exercise on patellofemoral pain syndrome on knee Pain, Function, Balance and abductors, quadriceps Muscle strength.

Conditions

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Keywords

Short foot exercise; Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• assessment of knee pain

  by visual analogue scale ( VAS ) to assess knee pain -minimum score is 0 point and maximum score is 10. score of 10 means worst pain outcome

  Change from baseline pain at 6th week

• assessment of knee function

  by Anterior Knee Pain Scale ( AKP )- minimum score is 0 point and maximum score is 100 points . score of 100 means no pain . this scale assesses knee pain and function

  Change from baseline function at 6th week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Assessment of muscle strength

  Change from baseline at 6th week

• Assessment of balance:

  Change from baseline at 6th week
