This study aims to investigate and compare the effect of AI driven exercises program versus the conventional exercises therapy program on pain, function and dynamic knee valgus angle in treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.This study is randomized controlled trial and includes 40 participants .These participants divided into 2 groups (A, B), each group will be assessed with 3 measurments (vas ,dynamic knee valgus, Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale) and each group will receive difeerent treatments.
The individuals in group A(study group) will preceive AI driven exercises program while the individual in group B will receive conventional exercises therapy program. Participants in the both groups are prescribed a 6-week comprehensive exercises program (3 sessions per week) day after day and assessment procedure will be performed pre and post treatmeant .
PURPOSE : This study aims to investigate and compare the effect of AI driven exercises program versus the conventional exercises therapy program on pain, function and dynamic knee valgus angle in treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
BACKGROUND:
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common knee problems that disturb function and daily activities (Menek et al .,2025). Symptoms of PFPS can develop either slowly or abruptly, and pain tends to worsen with activities such as squatting, prolonged sitting, stair climbing, jumping, or running (Menek et al .,2025). PFPS affects approximately 25% of physically active individuals (Smith et al .,2018).
Core training significantly improves pain and functional limitations in patients with PFP and improves lower extremity motor performance to some extent (Y. Wang et al., 2024). These results draw more attention to the importance of the core muscle performance for both prevention and rehabilitation of the knee injuries

All participants will randomized via random generator (www.randomization.com). All patients will be blinded to group allocation by ensuring that they will be unaware of the exercises performed by the other group. To maintain the blinding, the intervention sessions will be delivered separately to members of each treatment group.
