Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Effects of Different Quadriceps Isokinetic Training Programs on Knee Muscle Strength: 899 Board# 314 May 28, 3: 30 PM-5: 00 PM

摘要: PURPOSE: To determine the effects of different quadriceps isokinetic training programs on quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) patients.METHODS: Thirty PFPS patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups: concentric (CON, n= 10)(31.23±3.12 years), eccentric (ECC, n= 10)(33.73±2.21 years) and combined (CON-ECC, n= 10)(30.41±4.35 years). Training program was divided into 3 mesoscycles, and the sets and angular speeds were increased in each mesocycle. Patients were treated 8 weeks (3days per week). Hamstring eccentric (Hecc) and concentric (Hcon); Quadriceps eccentric (Qecc) and concentric (Qcon) peak torques were evaluated at 60/sec, 120/sec and 180/sec with Biodex System 3 (Biodex® Corp., Shirley, NY, USA). All measurements were done before and 8-weeks after training. Repeated measure of ANOVA was used for the analysis.RESULTS …
