Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is associated with muscle imbalance at the knee and hip. Therapeutic exercise is effective at reducing pain associated with PFPS.
To identify and analyze clinical trials of elastic resistance in patients with PFPS to determine its efficacy.
PubMed, CINAHL, and PEDro databases were searched for terms relevant to PFPS rehabilitation in patients aged 12 to 40 years.
Only peer-reviewed clinical trials lasting at least 4 weeks and specifying the use of elastic resistance in their protocols were included.
Eight eligible studies were analyzed for design, sample, intervention, outcomes, and clinical application.
The studies included in this review lacked high-quality design, often using exercise as a "quasi-control" condition. Most studies did not provide specific exercise prescription or progression. Although participants in each study reported significant improvements in pain, deficiencies in scientific design limit the conclusion.
Elastic resistance exercise may reduce pain and improve function and strength in patients with PFPS.
髌股疼痛综合征(PFPS)与膝关节和髋关节的肌肉失衡有关。治疗性运动在减轻 PFPS 相关疼痛方面是有效的。
确定并分析 PFPS 患者中弹性阻力的临床试验,以确定其疗效。
在 PubMed、CINAHL 和 PEDro 数据库中搜索了与 12 至 40 岁患者 PFPS 康复相关的术语。
仅纳入至少持续 4 周且方案中明确使用弹性阻力的同行评审临床试验。
对 8 项符合条件的研究进行了设计、样本、干预、结果和临床应用分析。
本综述纳入的研究设计质量不高,常将运动作为“准对照”条件。大多数研究没有提供具体的运动处方或进展。尽管每项研究的参与者都报告疼痛有明显改善,但科学设计的缺陷限制了结论。
弹性阻力运动可能减轻 PFPS 患者的疼痛,改善其功能和力量。
