An interventional study of Triplanar Rotary Resistance in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, sponsored by High Point University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-02-26.

Does a rotary based triplanar exercise intervention that utilizes the trunk as a proximal lever, strengthen the hip and alter dynamic LE alignment in running females?
Current hip-focused programs fail to alter hip adduction angles in females while performing higher speed and more complex maneuvers such as running.
(Willy, et al., 2011) - 10 female runners, underwent 6 wk. hip focused intervention, change in SLS but NO change in hip adduction angle while running.
A different intervention strategy that includes utilizing the trunk as the proximal lever to strengthen the hip, could potentially alter biomechanical outcomes such as hip adduction angles in female runners.
This study will apply a new intervention model and then measure running, single leg squat and hip strength to determine if a newly informed intervention can alter LE kinematics in females while running and make improvements in hip strength following the intervention Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria:
This group will perform a known hip strengthening program
Other: Triplanar Rotary Resistance
This group will use the trunk as a lever to strengthen the hip
Other: Triplanar Rotary Resistance
Trunk group will strengthen the hip using the trunk as a lever to access the hip. The hip group will use femur as the lever to strengthen the hip.
Also known as: Convention Hip Focused
Change in Hip Strength after a 12 week hip focused intervention
Isometric hand held dynamometer
Time frame: Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks
Biomechanical assessment of single leg squat
Subject squats on single leg and qualitative scoring is administered to determine the subjective amount of contralateral pelvic drop and femoral adduction to be described as dynamic knee valgus. The qualitative values will be binary in nature, whereas DKV is present or not.
Time frame: Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks
Biomechanical Running Assessment
2/3D analysis of running gait following intervention; Utilizing both 3D/2D methods the measure of contralateral pelvic drop and the bisection of the patella will determine the amount of femoral adduction noted during running. The change in the femoral adduction angle after a 6 week intervention is the specific outcome measure to be obtained.
Time frame: Baseline measures at initial data collection; repeat post intervention measures at 6wks
Plan to share: Undecided — The data collected will only be shared amongst the research team named in this protocol.

Ran from Aug 2017 to primary completion in Dec 2017, 4 months.
Of 154 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 20. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 158 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 21.
