Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to find out the Comparative effects of Plyometric training and Theraband Resistant Exercises on Agility, Power and Dynamic balance in karate Players with Patellofemoral Syndrome. Understanding how these methods impact agility, power, and dynamic balance provides practical insights for designing rehabilitation programs.It help therapists to find which evidence-based recommendations are beneficial for maximizing the athletes agility, power, dynamic balance and overall performance or well-being of the karate players with Patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale

  Numeric Pain Rating Scale NPRS is based on 11-point numerical rating scale for determining pain intensity, 0(no pain) to 10(worst pain imaginable) pain intensity .NRS pain has high validity and reliability (β = 0.42 \[95% CI 0.04, 0.80\]

• The Kujalapatello femoral

  The Kujalapatellofemoral score is one of the commonly used assessment scales for patients with PFP. It provides a functional assessment instrument for knee complaints related to the patellofemoral structure. The scale was designed especially for patients withscoring system will be perform to diagnose Patello femoral syndrome,with a variable ordinal response format high internal consistency (αCoef = 0.83 to 0.91)

  6 weeks

• Agility T Test

  Agility will be measured by the agility T-tests,high intra-trail reliability of the test (ICC=0.98). The participants were instructed to run 9.14 meters from the starting line to the first cone, touch the tip with their right hand, shuffle 4.57 meters to the left to the second cone, shuffle 9.14 meters to the right to the third cone, touch with their right hand, shuffle 4.57 meters to the left to the middle cone, touch with their left hand, and then backpedal to the starting line.

  6 weeks

• Star Excursion Balance Test

  The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) the intra class correlation coefficients ( 0.86 to 0.92).The SEBT is performed with the subject standing at the center of a grid placed on the floor, with 8 lines extending at 45° increments from the center of the grid. The 8 lines positioned on the grid are labeled according to the direction of excursion relative to the stance leg. The plane was constructed in a facility with the help of a protractor and adhesive tape on the hard tile floor.

  6 weeks

• 40-Yd Speed Test

  Speed will be measured by the 40-Yd Sprint Test. The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 40 yards, with the time recorded. The aim of this test will be to determine 40-Yd Sprint. Sprints of 40 yd were used to determine quickness ICC \> 0.987.

  6 weeks

• Sargent Test

  To mark the wall at the height of their jump, the participant applies chalk to the tips of their fingers. After standing away from the wall, the individual uses both arms and legs to help project their body upwards and jumps as high as they can. At the peak of the jump, they try to make contact with the wall. Power will be measured by the Sargent Test. Vertical Jump test is a very common test for measuring explosive leg power intra-rater class reliability ICC = 0.903 to 0.934.

Plyometric Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient will be given baseline treatment that includes thermotherapy+ TENS+ low intensity high repetition exercises. After we will apply our basic intervention exercise, Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes to improve performance and are used in the fitness field to a much lesser degree. This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a explosive way, for example repeated jumping.

Other: Plyometrics Training

Theraband Resistance Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient will be given baseline treatment that includes thermotherapy+ TENS+ low intensity high repetition exercises. After we will apply our basic intervention exercise Therabands is a Set of bands which are primarily use for resistance Training for strength and Power.

Other: Theraband Resistance Exercise
