Abstract

In the absence of other pathologies, patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), a prevalent complaint among athletes and communities, is defined as a dull, agonizing ache in the anterior or retropatellar region. To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of medial wedge support on proximal muscle strength in patients with PFPS. Twenty male and ten female patients, all between the ages of 18 and 35, were randomly divided into two equal groups. 15 patients in the experimental group (A) additionally underwent strengthening exercises for the hip abductors and lateral rotators and medial wedge support. 15 patients in the control group (B) solely engaged in hip abductors and lateral rotators strengthening activities. Hip abductor and lateral rotator strength were evaluated in both groups using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) before and after 12 consecutive sessions separated by six weeks. The results indicate that patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) patients' hip abductors and lateral rotators did not significantly differ in strength when employing medial wedge support in conjunction with strengthening activities for those muscles.
