PROCEDURE

Patellar mobilization, retinacula release, deep friction message, stretch and strength

"All exercises will be performed for 30 to 45 minutes per session, 3 times per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions). Group (1): stretch exercises are performed for calf, hamstring, iliotibial band and quadriceps. strength exercises consist from open kinetic chain (hip abductors, hip external rotators and quadriceps) and closed kinetic chain exercises (mini wall squat exercise, forward step up exercise, lateral step up exercise and terminal knee extension exercise).~Group (2): stretch exercises are performed for calf, hamstring, iliotibial band and quadriceps. strength exercises consist from open kinetic chain (hip abductors, hip external rotators and quadriceps) and closed kinetic chain exercises (mini wall squat exercise, forward step up exercise, lateral step up exercise and terminal knee extension exercise). manual therapy consists from iliotibial band release, deep friction message for lateral retinacula and medial patella mobilization."
