Abstract

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is common knee disorder encountered in clinical: notably, altered hip biomechanic may contribute to PFPS. In this study, We investigated the effects of hip joint mobilization on pain, balance, and gait in patients with PFPS. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to a control group (n=18) or an experimental group (n=20). Both groups received exercise therapy thrice a week for 4 weeks. The experimental group performed additional hip joint mobilization thrice a week for 4 weeks. Measurement were obtained in each patient pre-intervention and post-intervention (after 4 weeks). Results: The assessed items included the visual analog scale (VAS), one leg standing test (OLS), timed up and go test (TUG), and the 10m walk test (10MWT). Post-intervention assessment showed significantly improved results in both groups (p<.01). A significant intergroup difference was observed only in the results of the 10MWT (p<.05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that hip joint mobilization with exercise therapy may be useful to improve PFPS.
