Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate and compare the effect of AI driven exercises program versus the conventional exercises therapy program on pain, function and dynamic knee valgus angle in treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.This study is randomized controlled trial and includes 40 participants .These participants divided into 2 groups (A, B), each group will be assessed with 3 measurments (vas ,dynamic knee valgus, Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale) and each group will receive difeerent treatments. The individuals in group A(study group) will preceive AI driven exercises program while the individual in group B will receive conventional exercises therapy program. Participants in the both groups are prescribed a 6-week comprehensive exercises program (3 sessions per week) day after day and assessment procedure will be performed pre and post treatmeant .

Conditions

Patello Femoral Pain Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale

  a 13-item scale assessing knee functionality. The total Kujala score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better performance. Additionally, The Kujala score is known for its reliability and validity in assessing patients with frozen PFPS

  up to 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• visual analog scale

  up to 6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

( AI driven EX for study group )

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: All participants will randomized via random generator (www.randomization.com). All patients will be blinded to group allocation by ensuring that they will be unaware of the exercises performed by the other group. To maintain the blinding, the intervention sessions will be delivered separately to members of each treatment group.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: assistant lecturer

Model Details: This study is randomized controlled trial and includes 40 participants .These participants divided into 2 groups (A, B), each group will be assessed with 3 measurments (vas ,dynamic knee valgus, Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale) and each group will receive difeerent treatments.
