Intervention  Short Foot Exercises with Whole Body Vibration on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome  Participants will be demonstrated performance of Short Foot Exercises on Whole Body Vibrator. Short Foot Exercises will be performed on Whole Body Vibrator for 4 weeks, 3 days/week. Exercises will be performed for 2 sets, 12 repetitions with 5 seconds hold, in sitting position in 1st and 2nd week. They will be progressed to 4 sets in 3rd and 4th week and will be performed in standing position 
Comparator Agent  Short Foot Exercises without Whole Body Vibration on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome  Participants will be demonstrated performance of Short Foot Exercises on Stationary platform. Short Foot Exercises will be performed on Stationary platform for 4 weeks, 3 days/week. Exercises will be performed for 2 sets, 12 repetitions with 5 seconds hold, in sitting position in 1st and 2nd week.They will be progressed to 4 sets and will be performed in standing position in 3rd and 4th week.

Brief Summary   NULL HYPOTHESIS 
Short Foot Exercises performed with Whole Body Vibration and Short Foot Exercises performed without Whole Body Vibration may be equally effective on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
1)Short Foot Exercises performed with Whole Body Vibration is more effective on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome than Short Foot Exercises performed without Whole Body Vibration.
2)Short Foot Exercises performed without Whole Body Vibration is more effective on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome than Short Foot Exercises performed with Whole Body Vibration.

AIM
To study the effectiveness of Short Foot Exercises performed with and without Whole Body Vibration on Vastus Medialis Oblique activation in patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

OBJECTIVES
1) To examine the effects of Short Foot Exercises with Whole Body Vibration on recruitment of Vastus Medialis Oblique using surface EMG, functional activities using Kujala Patellofemoral score and Q angle.
2) To examine the effects of Short Foot Exercises on recruitment of Vastus Medialis Oblique using surface EMG, functional activities using Kujala Patellofemoral score and Q angle.
3)To compare the effectiveness of Short Foot Exercises performed with and without Whole Body Vibration on recruitment of Vastus Medialis Oblique using surface EMG, functional activities using Kujala Patellofemoral score and Q angle.
