- Abstract
Purpose: This study was planned to investigate the effects progressive neuromuscular exercise programme and plantar taping on isokinetic strength of hip and knee muscles in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Methods: Thirty patients diagnosed with unilateral PFPS; patients in group I (n=15, 39.4±6.6 years, 23.9±5.3 kg/m²) progressive neuromuscular exercise programme was given; in group II (n=15, 34.1±8.9 years, 23.9±5.1 kg/m²) plantar and knee corrective taping was applied in addition to progressive neuromuscular exercise programme. Isokinetic muscle strength of hip and knee muscles were assesed with "Isomed 2000" (D&R. Ferstl GmbH, Germany) before and after 6 weeks of treatment. Results: İmprovement in 60°/sec quadriceps and 180°/sec abductor muscle peak torques were found significant for both groups after treatment (p<0.05). Acording to the differences between groups; group II is more effective on hamstring muscle peak torque in 180°/sec than group I. Discussion: Both treatment programmes are effective on muscle strength. Corective taping in addition to progressive neuromuscular exercise programme is suggested especially for improvement in hamstring muscle strength.
