Strength Training Rehabilitation Incorporating Power Exercises (STRIPE) for individuals with patellofemoral pain: a randomised controlled trial protocol.

ABSTRACT: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a chronic condition that presents with patellar pain during various daily and recreational activities. Individuals with PFP have a wide range of impairments that result in long-term disability and reduced quality of life. Current interventions target hip muscle weakness with strength-based exercises, but recurrence rates are as high as 90%. A single feasibility study demonstrated success with power-based exercises; however, there is limited evidence evaluating pain or self-reported function in larger cohorts, and no study has assessed recurrence rates. This protocol details a study evaluating a strength-based rehabilitation programme compared with a strength-based programme incorporating power-based exercises in individuals with PFP. This single-blinded randomi
