KONDROMALAZİ PATELLA TANILI OLGULARDA KUADRİSEPS GÜÇLENDİRİCİ İZOMETRİK VE İZOTONİK EGZERSİZLERİN AĞRI, YAŞAM KALİTESİ VE FONKSİYONEL KAPASİTE ÜZERİNE ÜSTÜNLÜKLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the superiority of different exercise modalities, including isotonic and isometric strengthening for quadriceps, over each other their effect on pain, quality life functional capacity in patients diagnosed with chondromalacia patellae (CMP). 
 Methods: was designed as a prospective 30 patients(15 isometric, 15 group) healthy volunteers aged 20–50 years who were CMP based physical examination magnetic resonance imaging had pain complaints. Pain level evaluated Visual Analogue Scala (VAS), Lysholm scale, Short Form-36(SF-36). Q-angle, thigh circumference before after all patients. Results: In CMP, there significant differences capacity, some subcomponents SF-36 performing or exercises compared control group (p0,05). evaluation groups, no difference assessment circumference, (p>0,05).
 Conclusion: Isometric quadriceps are not superior terms treatment.
