Aquatic Plyometrics for Adolescents With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week hydro-kinetic plyometric (HK-Plyo) training on pain, muscle strength, disability, and quality of life (QoL) in adolescents with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Fifty-six adolescents with PFPS were randomly allocated to the HK-Plyo group (n = 28, received the plyometric-based hydro-kinetic therapy program, twice/week, over 12 weeks) or the control group (n = 28, received standard exercise program). Both groups were assessed for pain, muscle strength, disability, and QoL pre and post-treatment.
