Study Summary
This trial is testing if limited ankle movement affects knee pain when doing a one-legged squat.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-59 with Patellofemoral Pain lasting at least 6 months, who haven't had clinic treatments in that time. They must have limited ankle movement (<45 degrees on a lunge test) and no knee swelling, abnormal limb structures, severe resting pain, or past surgery/fractures affecting leg/spine biomechanics.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how limited ankle flexibility affects single-leg squats in those with knee pain. Participants will either receive 'Mobilization with Movement' therapy or just education without mobilization to see which method better improves squat performance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve physical therapy techniques and educational components rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include temporary discomfort or muscle soreness from the movements performed during the sessions.
