Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common cause of anterior knee pain, often associated with impaired lower limb balance. Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) has emerged as a promising adjunct to conventional strengthening exercises to improve functional outcomes.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of BFRT added to strengthening exercises on lower limb dynamic balance in patients with PFPS using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).
Subjects & Methods: Thirty-eight patients with PFPS were randomized into two groups: Group I received strengthening exercises alone (n=19), and Group II received strengthening exercises combined with BFRT (n=19). Interventions were conducted three times weekly for six weeks. SEBT was assessed at baseline, and after 6 weeks.
Results: Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in SEBT scores over time (p < 0.001). However, no statistically significant differences were observed between groups at post-treatment results point (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Strengthening exercises, with or without BFRT, effectively improve lower limb dynamic balance in PFPS patients. BFRT did not show additional benefits over strengthening exercises alone within six weeks.
