Objectives: To compare the effects of Neurocognitive training Versus Kinetic motor control exercise to improve the Q-angle, kinesiophobia, proprioceptive and motor problem in PFPS.
Methods: Comparative study, 30 subjects were allocated randomly into 2 groups. Group A (15 patients) & each was treated with Neuro-cognitive exercises with Short Wave Diathermy. Group B (15 patients) & each was treated with Kinetic Motor control exercise with Short Wave Diathermy. 10 weeks of intervention were provided. Both groups were assessed by using outcome measures like AKPS, TAMPA scale, IQP and Q-Angle measurement.
Results: Statistical Analysis was done by unpaired‘t’ test and paired‘t’ test for the between group and within the group respectively. The mean and SD for AKPS in Group A is 6.20 ± 42.40 and Group B 9.00 ± 154.00. The mean and SD of Tampa scale in Group A is 17.87 ± 299.73 and Group B 14.07 ± 224.93. The mean and SD for Isometric Quadriceps Pressure in Group A is 9.20 ± 198.40 and Group B 12.93± 158.93. The mean and SD for ̔ Q ̕-Angle in Group A is 7.27 ± 94.93 and Group B 5.40 ± 61.60 respectively.
Conclusion: This study concludes that Kinetic Motor Control Exercises (Group B) shows more significant effect than neurocognitive exercises (Group A) in improving the Q-angle, Kinesiophobia, proprioceptive and motor problem in PFPS.
