An observational study in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-04-01.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Observational
The overall aim of the study is to assess the reliability and validity of Autocad software to measure JPS in PFPS, especially:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common painful musculoskeletal condition that affects physically active young adults and adolescents.
Joint position sense (JPS) is considered as a component of proprioception as it provides the clinician with information regarding the accuracy of movement as well as its relationship with movement performance and injuries. Therefore researchers use advanced instruments as 3 D video systems and isokinetic dynamometer. Since these instruments are less portable and expensive, therefore researchers used another method to evaluate JPS using high precision software using video analysis and markers in the joints. Unfortunately, video analysis requires difficult and time-consuming tasks and that this slow the evaluation process.
Although immediate feedback could help physiotherapists and athletic trainers to monitor athletes and make decisions during the training session and the rehabilitation process, such immediacy is not available for proprioceptive tests in field situations. Autocad software is available and inexpensive and provides immediate feedback
295 studies on the registry are indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome; 75 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 38 is below the median of 43 across 48 observational studies indexed under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Of its 36 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 5 (14%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
thirty-eight patients(males and females) with PFPS will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the faculties of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt.
Exclusion Criteria:
athletes weren't included.
-
Patients referred with a confirmed diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome, with a visual analogue scale of more than 3. Anterior or retropatellar knee pain from at least 2 of the following Activities : (1) prolonged sitting; (2) stair climbing; (3) squatting; (4) running; (5) kneeling; and (6) hopping/jumping.
Diagnostic Test: Autocad software
The participants will be prepared for image-capture data collection by putting four squared markers on leg and thigh.Each subject will extend his/her leg and make two angles from the resting position (90º) to the full extension, photos will be taken. The tested leg passively moved by the researcher through 20° to 60° of knee extension, the participant will be instructed to actively move that leg to the target angle and hold it in this position another photograph will be taken. The angles will be measured using the AutoCAD software. Knee JPS measurements will also be collected using an IKD by same steps
