What this Trial Is About
This study is a prospective, single-center trial involving 66 patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain. The study adhered to ethical guidelines and obtained informed consent from all participants. Participants were randomly assigned to receive face-to-face remote rehabilitation guidance either 1 time, 3 times, or 6 times. The primary outcome measure was exercise adherence assessed using the Exercise Rating Scale (EARS) after 6 weeks of rehabilitation. Secondary outcomes included knee pain severity, muscle strength, knee function, fatigue levels, and a qualitative research questionnaire. An isokinetic strength testing system was used to measure the open-chain strength of the quadriceps muscle.
