Home-Based Functional Exercise Program in Patients With Patellar Femoral Syndrome Over a 10-Week Period

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Patellar Femoral Syndrome

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 10 week exercise rehabilitation program decreases anterior knee oain (PFPS) and improves function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
