THE EFFECT OF 8 WEEKS PILATES TRAINING ON THE TREATMENT OF PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME
Keywords:
Knee, Treatment, Patella femoral pain syndrome and Pilates
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of 8 weeks Pilates training on the treatment of Patellofemoral Pain syndrome (PFPS). This study is single grouped experimental pre-post test design. Subjects were 20 male with bilateral PFPS, (25.7 ±5. 5 years old). Subjects accomplished Pilates training program for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. Paired sample T-test was used to analyze the data of the study by use of SPSS software. The result showed that 8 weeks Pilates training significantly improved PFPS, therefore knee function and knee pain has improved and decreased respectively following the treatment. It is concluded that 8 weeks Pilates training could improve PFPS. Therefore, the Pilates method behaved as a useful therapeutic tool in the increase of subject’s knee function. It is hence an important alternative in the prevention as well as recovery of patellofemoral pain syndrome and related injuries triggered by the decrease of the muscular length, abnormal lower limb biomechanics, soft-tissue tightness, muscle weakness, neuromuscular imbalance between muscles and excessive exercise.
