Objective
To investigate the effect of a knee brace compared with minimal intervention on self-reported kinesiophobia and function, objective function, and physical activity level in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Design Single-blind randomized controlled trial (1:1), parallel. Participants Individuals with PFP (N=50). Main Outcome Measures Primary: kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia). Secondary: self-reported function (Anterior Knee Pain Scale), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), and objective function (forward step-down test). Outcomes were assessed at baseline (T0), at the end of the intervention (2wk) (T1), and at 6 weeks after baseline (T2). Intervention Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 interventions groups: (1) use of knee brace for 2 weeks during daily living, sports, or painful tasks (brace group) and (2) educational leaflet with information about PFP (leaflet group). Results The knee brace reduced kinesiophobia in people with PFP compared with minimal intervention with moderate effect size at T1=mean difference (95% CI) −5.56 (−9.18 to −1.93) and T2=−5.24 (−8.58 to −1.89). There was no significant difference in self-reported and objective function and physical activity level. Conclusions The knee brace improved kinesiophobia immediately after intervention (at 2wk) and at 6-week follow-up in people with PFP compared with minimal intervention. A knee brace may be considered within clinically reasoned paradigms to facilitate exercise therapy interventions for people with PFP. |
