A Study to Analyse the Effectiveness of Capacitive Resistive Diathermy on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Among Adult Population

Background: Many factors might lead to the development of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), a prevalentcause of anterior knee discomfort. Overuse from intense athletics or training, as well as issues with the alignmentof the kneecap, are frequently important contributors.Purpose: The purpose of this article is to analyse the effectiveness of capacitive resistive diathermy on patellofemoralpain syndrome among the adult population.Methodology: Fifty subjects were based on inclusion and exclusion standards. The study’s safety measures, riskconsiderations, and methodology were disclosed to the participants. The participants were all chosen using apractical sampling approach. The subjects were tested with Clarke’s grind test and Vastus medialis coordinationtest and the treatment given to the patient is TECAR therapy for the duration of 15 minutes each day regularlyfor a period of 10 days under RET mode with the intensity of temperature according to patients sensitivity andtolerance.Results: The subjects who received TECAR therapy were significantly improved, the pain was much more reducedwith the p value of <0.001Conclusion: This study concluded that TECAR therapy was effective in subjects with patellofemoral painsyndrome.
