Study Summary
ProtonicsTM Knee brace has been suggested as an intervention for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). However, the effectiveness of this knee brace compared to traditional conservative methods knee rehabilitation is lacking. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effect of ProtonicsTM knee brace vs. sports cord on knee pain and function in patients with PFPS.
Primary Outcome
Anterior Pelvic Tilt: tilting of the pelvic will be measured with CHEK inclinometer. Tilting will be measured while subjects are in a standing position. The examiner will determine the two measure line marks, anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) to find the oblique angle of the pelvic. Normative values from other study that we will be using to compare anterior pelvic tilt: Male = 9° and Female = 12° (from Nguyen study in 2007). The CHEK inclinometer ca
