Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to explore the effect of body position (side-lying versus standing) on hip abductors muscle strength and activation in individuals with and without PFPS and then to compare these measures between the two groups in each position

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A cross-sectional comparative study involving 44 subjects (22 subjects with PFPS and 22 healthy controls), aged 18-35 years. The study will measure hip abductor muscle strength (Peak torque, Maximal total work) using the Biodex Isokinetic System 4 PRO and muscle activity (%MVC) of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor fascia lata using Surface EMG (Noraxon Ultium EMG). Measurements will be taken in both standing and side-lying positions.
