Abstract INTRODUCTION Running is a choice of sport for many,it is related with a risk of overuse injuries. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is recorded 18% 10)on overall complaints of adolescents and young adults below 35 years among middle and long distance runners. OBJECTIVE Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a prequel to patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis. This study compares the effects of functional stabilization training and non weight bearing exercise in PFPS among runners. METHODS A Comparative study of 30 marathon runners Age between 20-35 years with patellofemoral pain were included and randomized into NWB and FST groups. Pain, Functional activities are recorded using VAS, AKPS. The groups received treatment protocols for 8 weeks duration. RESULT The recorded mean values of before and after intervention of VAS and AKPS for FST group are 8.27+_0.923 ,4.5 +_1.0 and 52.40+_16.01,92.93+_3.97 for NWB the pre and post values are7.9+_0.737, 3.13+_0.767 and 68.33+_1.01,78.87+_6.24 both the groups shows significant difference in pain on comparing the functional activity score FST group showed significant difference. CONCLUSION Non weight bearing knee exercises are focused to gain the quadriceps muscle strength which is the reason for lateral tracking of patella. Functional stabilization training engages both hip and knee muscle involvement as well in weight bearing which activates the co action multiple joint, and gain motor control and as well as stimulate proprioceptors. So FST considered as effective and higher in return to sport ,there may reduce the recurrence rate, keep the runners to be active in sport.
