Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This randomized controlled study was designed to compare the effects of two different treatment protocols, Group-I (Supervised Rehabilitation) and Group-II (Pilates Exercises). Patients who applied to the Istanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Sports Medicine outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with PFP by a specialist physician based on the patient histories, physical examinations, and diagnostic imaging. The estimated desired sample size was at least 14 participants per group. We anticipated a dropout rate of 20%. Therefore, 34 participants were required for each group (Supervised Rehabilitation n=17, Pilates Exercises n=17) of both sexes, ages ranging from 18-45 years. A computer generated randomization list was used to divide the patients into two groups (https://www.randomizer.org/). An 'Informed Consent Form' was obtained from patients by explaining the purpose of the study, the duration of the study, the treatments to be applied, and possible side effects.
