Effect of Core Muscle Strengthening in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) in Females: A Randomized Controlled Trial

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research | 2026 | Iqra Mehraj Ud din, Simran Kaur, Karamjeet Kaur

Background: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by anterior knee pain and functional impairment, particularly among young females. Emerging evidence suggests that proximal muscle weakness, especially of the core musculature, may contribute to altered lower-extremity biomechanics and increased patellofemoral joint stress.Objecti...
