Influência da fisioterapia em pacientes com Síndrome da dor Femoropatelar: Uma Revisão Integrativa

Abstract

Studies on the pathologies associated with the patellofemoral joint have been expanded over time. This fact aroused the interest in developing a work that aimed to identify physiotherapeutic treatment approaches for patellofemoral pain syndrome pathology. In this sense, it was decided to carry out an integrative review, covering a period of one decade, between the years 2013 to 2023 in order to complement previously developed studies on the subject. Based on the methodological proposal, a set of 130 articles were collected and analyzed, resulting in 10 articles that served as the basis for this study. As a result, it was identified that the treatments are intended to relieve pain, improve functional performance, gain range of motion and muscle strength. It is concluded that conventional physiotherapeutic treatments associated with needling and electrostimulation therapy methods proved to be effective for pain relief, gain in range of motion, gain in muscle strength and improvement in functional performance in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
