Hip and Ankle Mobility Rehabilitation for Soccer Players With Patellofemoral Pain
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH registered a new randomized controlled trial (NCT07542236) evaluating whether a 6-week hip- and ankle-mobility-based rehabilitation program, performed 3 times per week in addition to regular soccer training, improves pain, knee-related function, neuromuscular coordination, and physical performance in male soccer players with patellofemoral pain. The study compares an intervention group receiving the mobility program against a control group continuing regular training alone. This is a study registration announcement with no direct compliance implications.

What changed
NIH registered a new randomized controlled trial (NCT07542236) on ClinicalTrials.gov. The study will evaluate a 6-week hip- and ankle-mobility-based rehabilitation program performed 3 times per week in male soccer players with patellofemoral pain. Participants are randomized to either the intervention group (mobility rehabilitation plus regular training) or a control group (training alone). Main outcomes include pain intensity and knee-related function.
This is a clinical trial registration with no compliance obligations. It does not create regulatory requirements, impose penalties, or mandate changes to any practice. The registry entry is informational and does not constitute guidance or a regulatory directive.

Hip and Ankle Mobility Rehabilitation for Soccer Players With Patellofemoral Pain
N/A NCT07542236 Kind: NA Apr 21, 2026
Abstract
This study evaluates whether a 6-week hip- and ankle-mobility-based rehabilitation program can improve pain, knee-related function, neuromuscular coordination, and physical performance in male soccer players with patellofemoral pain. Patellofemoral pain is a common condition in soccer players and may affect training tolerance, movement control, and sports performance. In this randomized controlled trial, participants are assigned to either an intervention group receiving hip- and ankle-mobility-based rehabilitation in addition to regular soccer training or a control group continuing regular soccer training alone. The rehabilitation program is performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Main outcomes include pain intensity and knee-related function. Additional outcomes include hip and ankle range of motion, vastus medialis-vastus lateralis onset timing, Y-Balance Test performance, and countermovement jump height. This study aims to determine whether improving proximal and distal joint mobility can contribute to better clinical and functional recovery in soccer players with patellofemoral pain.
