Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this case report is to investigate the effect of exercise for vastus medialis to knee pain patients
with patello-femoral pain syndrome.
Methods: Two patients with patello-femoral pain syndrome were treated by exercise for vastus medialis. To measure the
outcome of the patients' improvement, we observed the X-ray of both knee sky-line view, Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC) index.
Results: After being treated by exercise for vastus medialis, the patients' X-ray of both knee sky-line view, Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC) index were significantly improved.
Conclusions: These results suggest that exercise for vastus medialis is effective treatment to patients with patello-femoral
pain syndrome.
