Ilium Mobilization in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Treatment
January 23, 2023 updated by: Labib Mousa Labib Ghali, Cairo University
Efficacy of Adding Posterior Ilium Mobilization to Treatment of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of adding posterior ilium mobilization on knee pain, knee function, anterior pelvic tilt, dynamic knee valgus, muscle strength of extensors, abductors and external rotators of hip and knee extensors in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
