Effects of Telerehabilitation Versus Supervised Rehabilitation Protocol on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Recovery in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

This study aims to compare the effects of telerehabilitation and supervised rehabilitation protocols on pain, range of motion (ROM), and functional recovery in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). The findings will help determine the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation compared to conventional supervised physiotherapy in improving clinical outcomes among PFPS patients.
