Agility training with foot exercises for kneecap pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding foot exercises to agility training can better relieve long-lasting knee pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome) in adults ages 20 to 40. Eligible participants will have had pain behind the kneecap for over 6 months.

This study tests whether adding hip and knee exercises to a simple foot exercise (called short foot exercise) helps reduce pain and improve function in women with kneecap pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome). You may be a good fit if you are a woman aged 18–45 who has had front knee pain for at least 6 weeks and it gets worse with activities like squatting or stairs.
Researchers want to see which type of exercise program better helps people with front knee pain. You will do either balance challenge training or strengthening exercises to see which reduces your pain more.
This trial tests if adding a groin-area mobilization to foot mobilization helps with kneecap (patellofemoral) pain. It may be for you if you have one-sided kneecap pain for at least 3 months, especially when climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods.
This study compares two types of exercise programs—core stability exercises versus proprioceptive training—to see which is better at reducing pain and improving function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (anterior knee pain). If you have chronic kneecap pain, this trial may help you find a more effective way to manage it.
This study compares two different physical therapy techniques for treating kneecap pain (patellofemoral syndrome). One technique focuses on a small muscle behind the knee, while the other uses gentle movement of the kneecap. The goal is to find which approach works better for people with long-lasting kneecap pain.
This trial studies whether adding a specific ankle hands-on treatment (manual therapy) to regular strengthening exercises helps women with patellofemoral pain. The goal is to improve knee pain and function, especially when ankle movement is limited.
