Summary

Neuromuscular exercise and taping are widely used in the rehabilitation of Patellofemoral Pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of corrective kinesio taping applied on patellofemoral joint and foot in addition to a progressive neuromuscular exercise program in women with Patellofemoral Pain on knee pain and muscle strength.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
  • Kinesiotape
  • Exercise
  • Strength

Interventions

OTHER

progressive neuromuscular exercise program

The exercises to be performed in the following week at the beginning of each week were explained by the researcher physiotherapist on the brochure and given as a home program and continued for a total of 12 weeks. The researcher physiotherapist saw the patients every week and carried out exercise compliance and control.

Exercise and Taping

"I" taping for accurate positioning of the tissue was applied to the patients to neutralize the patellofemoral joint. During the knee flexion in the supine position, the tape was adhered to the skin with a moderate-to-extreme stretch (50%-75%) . Clinical therapeutic applications of the Kinesio taping methods (Tokyo, Japan: Ken Ikai Co Ltd.). In addition to the patellar taping, correction taping to neutralize the subtalar joint by elevating the midtarsal joint and medial arch was applied. The patients were positioned in prone lying and knee flexion position, the taping was started at the 5th metatarsal level on the dorsal side of the finger and finished extending towards the medial of the tibia .
