A Study on the Effectiveness of Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion Training in Patients With Patellofemoral Joint Pain.

"The experimental group receives:~Standard Exercise Therapy (30 min/session, 3x/week for 8 weeks): Quadriceps eccentric exercises (e.g., slow step-downs), Hip abductor strengthening (e.g., side-lying leg lifts), and Neuromuscular control drills (e.g., single-leg balance on unstable surfaces).~Ankle Dorsiflexion Training (15 min/session, 3x/week for 8 weeks): Mobilization techniques (posterior glides of the talus), Resistance band exercises (dorsiflexion against elastic bands), Progressive Achilles tendon stretching (weight-bearing calf stretches).~Exercise progression (resistance/intensity) is adjusted biweekly based on functional assessments."
