Study Summary
This is a blinded randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of manual therapy to improve hip abduction strength in patients with acute anterior knee pain. The primary objective of this study is to see if manual therapy to the gluteus medius can significantly alter within-session measurements of hip abductor strength in patients with anterior knee pain. The secondary objective of this study is to see if manual therapy to the gluteus medius can significantly alter within session pain in patients with anterior knee pain.
Primary Outcome
Isometric maximal voluntary contraction strength of the hip abductor muscles will be measured with a portable dynamometer. The dynamometer is placed so as the testing pad is positioned 5cm proximal to the lateral femoral condyle. Two to three maximal voluntary contraction trials will be permitted. The subjects will be instructed to produce their maximal force without any concern for the rate of force development. The duration of these contractions will be 5 seconds, and thirty seconds of rest w
Interventions
- OTHER Placebo Control
- OTHER Dry Needling
- OTHER Soft Tissue Mobilization
- OTHER Hip and core strengthening exercises
