Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of motor control exercise(MCE)in alleviating patellofemoral pain(PFP)among female college students and to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of PFP.Methods:Thirty six participants were randomly assigned to either the MCE group(n=18)or the control group(n=18).The control group underwent a sham intervention,while the experimental group engaged in MCE.Training sessions were conducted three times per week over a period of six weeks.Record the root mean square and dynamic knee valgus angle(DKV)data of the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles during single leg squat(SLS)before and after intervention,and evaluate the knee joint Lysholm scale,visual analog scale(VAS),and Y balance.Results:After six weeks of intervention,no significant changes in various indicators in the control group(P>0.05).All indicators in the MCE group showed significant improvement(P<0.05)except for the maximum extension distance of the posterior lateral and posterior medial sides of Y balance,which showed no statistical change;Except for Y balance,all indicators in the MCE group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:MCE can enhance hip muscle activation,reduce the DKV,improve lower limb postural control,alleviate pain,and enhance knee joint function in female college students with PFP.
