Interventions

OTHERCore strengthening exercises

By core strengthening exercise, could be improved pain, balance, and function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. In that case, this will not only improve their postural stability and neuromuscular control, but we believe it will improve their overall functional, performance, and quality of life. Currently, limited evidence exists about the effectiveness of core strengthening exercises on pain, function and dynamic balance in patellofemoral pain syndrome. By addressing core strengthening exercise, physical therapists can advise new treatment methods for patellofemoral pain syndrome (Chevidikunnan et al., 2016)
