Background: The case study examined the effect of a hip joint traction and hip posterolateral muscles strengthening on knee pain, range of motion, and lower extremity function scale of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Although PFPS has previously been attributed to quadriceps dysfunction, more recent research has linked this condition to impairment of the hip musculature and kinematic. Methods: Subject is a 27-years-old female with PFPS. Performed hip joint traction with belt and posterolateral muscles(hip abductors, external rotators) strengthening for 4 weeks, 3 times a week, once a day. Before and after the therapy, measurements were made on the visual analog scale (VAS) and of the ROM, and a lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was conducted. Results: The results showed positive changes in VAS and range of motion and lower extremity functional scale. First VAS of knee changed from 6 to 2. Second hip joint range of motion showed that internal rotation recored from $53^{\circ}$ to $58^{\circ}$ and external rotation recorded from $32^{\circ}$ to $37^{\circ}$. Third The lower extremity functional scale showed before therapy of 44; after therapy, 63. Conclusion: The hip joint traction and hip posterolateral muscles strengthening was effective in alleviating knee pain, increasing ROM and Lower extremity functional scale of the PFPS patients.

Background: This study examined the effects of the muscle energy technique and cervical traction after applying conservative physical therapy in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Methods: Patients were randomly divided into two groups muscle energy technique (8 subjects) and cervical traction (8 subjects). Each group performed their exercise 70 minutes per day, three times week for four weeks. Pain intensity was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Function was measured with the neck disability index (NDI). Cervical range of motion (ROM) was measured with a cervical range of motion (CROM) goniometer. Results: After four weeks of therapy, VAS (p<.05) and NDI (p<.05) significantly decreased, and ROM significantly increased in both groups (p<.05). There were also significant differences between the two groups for these three measures (p<.05). Conclusion: The muscle energy technique and cervical traction are more effective than cervical traction alone in reducing VAS and NDI and increasing ROM in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Extracorporea Shock - Wave Therapy (ESWT) on the pain and improvement of shoulder joint function which is one of the available medical treatment in patients with frozen shoulder. Object and Methods: 26 patients with frozen shoulder, with 26 patients assigned to two groups; a control treatment group (n=12) and a ESWT application group (n=14). In the ESWT application group, the patients received general physical therapy, and then they received ESWT. In the control treatment group, the patients received only general physical therapy. These medical treatments was conducted total 6 time for 3 weeks. To investigate the effectiveness of the treatment after the each group's treatment. Pain was measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which is divided into 10 ranks and shoulder joint function was measured by CSA(Constant Shoulder Assessment scale). Results: 1. There was a statistical significance of measured by shoulder pain degree in both group but, the result of a ESWT application group shows more significance than that of a control treatment group. 2. There was a statistical significance of measured by CSA in both group but, the result of a ESWT application group shows more significance than that of a control treatment group. Conclusion: We think that treatment with General physical therapy and ESWT together for the patients with frozen shoulder is more effective and more safe method to shoulder joint function improvement and decrease of pain.
