Abstract

General Objective: To assess the effects of treatment with muscle energy technique tensor de la fascia lata for patellofemoral dysfunction in 25 patients attending the Centre Physiotherapy and Osteopathy "Equlibrio" Cuenca, august 2014 - january 2015. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study. It was evaluated and intervened in 25 patients with patellofemoral dysfunction in the period from August to November 2014. For the survey data was used a card with the following records: Q angle value, Ober Test, Verbal Numerical Scale and Scale Lysholm. Later on 10 treatment sessions lasting 20 minutes was applied; using the technique of muscle energy tensor of the fascia lata, at the end he refilled the same record with the pre-intervention values. The values and results obtained were processed and tabulated in the SPSS 22 program and were represented in statistical tables. Results: Applying the test statistic t student the following results were obtained: the pain got a representative decreased 3.96 points starting with an average value of 7.24 considered intense verbal numerical pain scale to 3.28 represented as mild. The functional assessment of the Lysholm knee which initially had an average of 55.08 points equivalent to a rating of bad knee, at study end was worth 75.72 sign of a knee in fair condition. Conclusion: The technique of muscle energy tensor de la fascia lata allowed reduces pain and improve knee function in patients with patellofemoral dysfunction.
