Topic: Correlation between Patellofemoral Pain syndrome and dynamic balance in young female Kathak dancers. Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by pain in the retro patellar region aggravated by climbing stairs, squatting, prolonged sitting with knees flexed. Multifactorial causes of PFPS include lower limb mal alignment, greater Q angles, repetitive movements. Dancers have a high predisposition of PFPS due to the complex foot work and foot postures. PFPS patients have shown to exhibit reduced dynamic balance than normal individuals. Correlation between pain intensity due to PFPS and dynamic balance in Kathak dancers can help in prevention of PFPS at an early stage of dance training Objective: To find a correlation between pain intensity arising due to PFPS and dynamic balance in female Kathak dancers. Methodology: Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution. Informed consent was taken from the participants. Participants were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Purpose of study and procedure was explained to participants. The subjects were assessed for severity of Patellofemoral pain syndrome using Anterior knee pain rating scale (Kujala scale) and dynamic balance was assessed using Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Correlation between above two variables will be analyzed using Pearson’s correlation constant. Results: 111 Kathak dancers were assessed for PFPS out of which 64 dancers had anterior knee pain and 47 dancers were having no pain. A medium negative correlation was found between intensity of pain and average balance in Kathak dancers having PFPS. As intensity of pain increases, dynamic balance shows reduced scores on SEBT. No correlation was found between years of dance training and dynamic balance and also intensity of pain. Conclusion: A medium negative correlation was found between intensity of pain and average balance in Kathak dancers having PFPS. As intensity of pain increases, dynamic balance shows reduced scores on SEBT. Current study concluded that dynamic balance is reduced in Kathak dancers having PFPS and hence prevention strategies can be incorporated in early years of dance training to prevent occurrence of PFPS.
