In this method, the allocation of people into two groups is done with the same sample size - and also the balance of the groups is maintained in terms of the dispersion of the influential variables (age, gender, and activity level in this study). RandomAllocation computer software (version 1.1, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran) is used for randomization. First, a random order of two letters A (remote rehabilitation combined treatment group) and B (face-to-face physical therapy group) is made in blocks with random numbers of 4 and 6 (for example, ABBA and ABAABB). Then the blocks are hidden by the opaque envelope. The randomization process will be done by a person who is not involved in any of the other stages of the research, Blinding description: Due to the fact that the type of study is such that the participants and the physiotherapist are aware of the type of intervention that participants receive, it is not possible to blind the patients and the physiotherapist. All evaluations are done by a physiotherapist who is not aware of the type of intervention that the participants receive. The people participating in the study are told not to disclose the type of intervention to the physiotherapist. 3 Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
