Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is analyze the immediate effect of selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) in the electrical activity of VMO and vastus lateralis (VL) and in the isokinetic performance of women with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Healthy Healthy women are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.	Other: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation; Selective Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on VMO
Experimental: Patellofemoral pain syndrome Women with patellofemoral pain syndrome are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.	Other: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation; Selective Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on VMO

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Electromyographic activity (root mean square - RMS) of vastus medialis obliquus [Change from baseline in Electromyographic activity at 30 minutes]

   The immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be measured through surface electromyography and the variable analyzed will be root mean square (RMS).
