title: The effect of proprioceptive training on neuromuscular function in patients with patellar pain.
abstract: Eight patients with patellar pain underwent knee proprioceptive training. The maximal knee extension torque associated with the Vastus Lateralis EMG signal increased (p 0.001 and 0.039). Although muscle balance was not improved, all the patients improved their clinical scores.
