An interventional study of Feedback on TUT and No feedback on TUT in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, Musculoskeletal Disorders and Joint Diseases, sponsored by Aalborg University. Completed at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 19 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-11-17.
Sponsored by Aalborg University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study investigates if live feedback during home-based exercises will improve the ability to perform the exercises with the prescribed time under tension (TUT) per repetition compared with no feedback among adolescents with patellofemoral pain. The hypothesis is that adolescents who receive live feedback from BandCizer™ will have a mean TUT that is significantly closer to the prescribed TUT compared to the group not receiving feedback during the course of the intervention.
295 studies on the registry are indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome; 75 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 45 across 242 interventional studies indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
Receives live feedback on TUT and pulling force during exercises.
Other: Feedback on TUT · Other: Exercise
Receives no feedback on TUT but on pulling force during exercises.
Other: No feedback on TUT · Other: Exercise
Access to live visual and auditory feedback on TUT and pulling force from an application on an iPad.
Access only to live visual feedback on pulling force from an application on an iPad.
3 exercises (knee extension, hip abduction and hip extension) using an elastic band with 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 10-12 RM 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
Mean deviation from the prescribed TUT per repetition in seconds during the course of the intervention
The mean deviation is calculated as the difference between actual TUT and prescribed TUT (8 seconds). E.g. if the actual TUT is 6.5 seconds, the deviation is 1.5 seconds
Time frame: From 0-6 weeks
The total number of repetitions performed
Time frame: From 0-6 weeks
Pulling force exerted per repetition measured in kilos
This will be expressed as the maximum pulling force during each repetition
Time frame: From 0-6 weeks
Isometric strength
Presented as Nm/kg in x, y and z direction
Time frame: At baseline and at the 6 week follow up
Pain measured on a 100 mm VAS
Is entered into the app by the adolescent before and after each exercise
Time frame: From 0-6 weeks
Kujala Patellofemoral Scale-score
Gives a score on patellofemoral pain ranging from 0 to 100 with 0 as complete disability and 100 as fully functional
Time frame: At baseline and at the 6 week follow up
Global rating of change
Self-reported recovery on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from "much improved" to "much worse"
Time frame: At the 6 week follow up
Summary of resistance
Total pulling force exerted during the course of the intervention measured in kilos
Time frame: From 0-6 weeks
Plan to share: Yes — No later than 1 year after the final follow-up, a completely anonymised data set to an appropriate data archive for sharing purposes will be delivered.
