Abstract: (851 Views)
Background & Aims: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a term used to describe pain that originates in the patellofemoral joint or the soft tissues surrouning it. This study compared the effects of relaxation tones and mindfulness-based breathing on the magnitude of the ground reaction force experienced by patellar femoris patients while walking to those of transcranial stimulation of the primary motor cortex.
Materials & Methods: Thirty men with patellofemoral pain participated in this semi-experimental study. With the aid of a force plate device, ground reaction force variables were assessed before and after transcranial stimulation, relaxation, and mindfulness-based breathing. The data were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that the effect of the time factor was statistically significant on the peak internal-external force during heel contact (P=0.049), when the foot leaves the ground (P=0.001), the peak anterior-posterior force during heel separation from the ground (P=0.044), and the peak vertical ground reaction force during heel separation from the ground (P=0.011). The effect of the time factor was statistically significant on peak internal-external forces during heel contact (P=0.004), peak anterior-posterior forces when the foot leaves the ground (P=0.017), peak vertical forces during heel contact with the ground (P=0.009), and peak vertical forces during foot separation from the ground (P=0.047).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be inferred that transcranial stimulation of the primary motor cortex, as well as body relaxation and mindfulness-based breathing awareness may be effective in reducing patellofemoral pain.
