ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of eccentric exercise training on knee function and neuromuscular control in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods:From September, 2016 to September, 2019, 39 outpatients with patellofemoral pain syndrome visiting our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 19) and experimental group (n = 20). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, while the experimental group received eccentric training of quadriceps femoris in addition, for eight weeks. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, Lysholm score, while the acceleration time was measured with Isokinetic Testing and Training System, and stability index with Dynamic Balance Tester. Results:The VAS score, acceleration time of all the muscles, and overall, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral stability indexes decreased (t > 2.521, P < 0.05), and the Lysholm score increased (|t| > 13.628, P < 0.001) in both groups after treatment, while the VAS score, acceleration time of all the muscles, overall and anterior-posterior stability indexes were less (|t| > 2.174, P < 0.05), and the Lysholm score was more (t = 11.947, P < 0.001) in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusion:Eccentric exercise training of quadriceps femoris is effective on pain, knee function and neuromuscular control for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
