Summary

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome(PFPS) treatment is basically conservative, but there is no general consensus on the most appropriate therapeutic approach. The aim of this study was to examine the misalignment of the patellofemoral joint with MRI and compare the effectiveness of McConnell patellar taping and femoral lateral rotational taping techniques applied to exercise function on pain, patellar maltraction, functional status, balance and quality of life in patients with PFPS.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise program

* Hamstring, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, iliopsoas, iliotibial band (ITB), lateral and medial retinaculum stretching exercises * Isometric exercises of vastus medialis, gluteus medius and external rotators * Isotonic exercises of vastus medialis, gluteus medius and external rotators * Closed kinetic chain exercises * Balance and coordination exercises * Core stabilization exercises

OTHER

McConnel patellar taping technique

Individuals are placed in a supine position with their knees extended and the quadriceps relaxed. A 5 cm wide hypoallergenic band is applied transversely over the patella without affecting the position of the patella. Then, it is started at the lateral edge of the patella with a rigid tape. The tape is terminated at the medial femoral condyle after a medial pull and / or medial tilt to the patella.

OTHER

Femoral rotational taping technique

This technique is applied in a standing position and hip extreme external rotation. Taping is started on the vastus medialis and is pulled diagonally from the anterior of the leg to the lateral and ends on the trochanter major.
