Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Arm Description

Healthy women are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.

Women with patellofemoral pain syndrome are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Electromyographic activity (root mean square - RMS) of vastus medialis obliquus
The immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be measured through surface electromyography and the variable analyzed will be root mean square (RMS).
