- Abstract
Background: Many factors might lead to the development of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), a prevalent cause of anterior knee discomfort. Overuse from intense athletics or training, as well as issues with the alignment of the kneecap, are frequently important contributors. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to analyse the effectiveness of capacitive resistive diathermy on patellofemoral pain syndrome among the adult population. Methodology: Fifty subjects were based on inclusion and exclusion standards. The study's safety measures, risk considerations, and methodology were disclosed to the participants. The participants were all chosen using a practical sampling approach. The subjects were tested with Clarke's grind test and Vastus medialis coordination test and the treatment given to the patient is TECAR therapy for the duration of 15 minutes each day regularly for a period of 10 days under RET mode with the intensity of temperature according to patients sensitivity and tolerance. Results: The subjects who received TECAR therapy were significantly improved, the pain was much more reduced with the p value of <0.001 Conclusion: This study concluded that TECAR therapy was effective in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
