Summary

Chondromalacia patellae (CMP), also known as runner's knee, is characterized by anterior knee pain (AKP) and typically occurs in youngsters. Causes of chondromalacia patellae include micro trauma wear and tear, post traumatic injuries and muscular imbalance. In Chondromalacia patella pain is behind or around the patella caused by stress in the patellofemoral joint that usually provoked by climbing stairs, squatting, and sitting with flexed knees for longer time periods. Patients of CMP presents with patellar mal-tracking, muscular weakness, proprioceptive deficit. Exercise training has been proven beneficial for CMP patients but additive effect of kinesio taping along with exercise have not been seen yet in these patients. The study will help people with chondromalacia patellae to improve their quality of life. The findings will contribute to future research in chondromalacia patellae management.
