Abstract:Background:
Impaired lower extremity motor function and knee pain are common concerns in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). It is essential to plan therapeutic techniques to therapy PFPS. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with functional training on pain, lower extremity function and muscle recruitment in patients with PFPS.
Methods:
Twenty-four PFPS patients (… Show more
