Ultrasound Examination of the VMO in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Vastus Medialis, Ultrasonographic, Patello Femoral Pain Syndrome
In brief
The aim of this study is to examine in detail the ultrasonographic characteristics of the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus medialis longus muscles in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome and to compare these findings with those of healthy individuals. It is anticipated that the results obtained will contribute to a better understanding of the muscle-based mechanisms of PFAS and provide a scientific basis for the development of muscle-specific assessment and intervention strategies in physical therapy and rehabilitation practices.
