“…The present study agreed with the results of Riel et al, 31 Hwangbo, 19 Baldon Rde et al, 3 Herman et al, 16 and Khayambashi et al 22 Aghapour et al 1 showed improved performance and reduction of pain in patients with PFPS when using Kinesio tape (Kinesio). In the present study, VCI exercises in the experimental group made it possible to control dynamic knee valgus.…”

P atellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common cause of knee pain in female athletes and results from force imbalances in patellar tracking during knee flexion and extension. 32 Excessive hip adduction and internal rotation during weightbearing could cause medial knee rotation, tibia abduction, and foot pronation, leading to dynamic knee valgus. Excessive knee valgus is related to diminished hip muscle 837622S PHXXX10.

“…In line with our findings, the majority of the previous studies conducted in this field have showed that KT cannot increase quadriceps PT in healthy individuals (30,32,37,38). On the contrary, some benefits have been shown in studies evaluating athletes (39,40). Since healthy individuals do not have any muscle pain or impairment, the increase in quadriceps strength in athletes may be attributed at least in part to pain relief induced by KT, if any.…”

Background: A strong performance from the quadriceps muscle has been associated with improved dynamic stabilization of the knee and a lower risk of injuries. Therefore, techniques that improve quadriceps muscle activity are often used in physiotherapy programs. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Kinesio tape (KT) on the isokinetic parameters, in physically active women, 24 hours after being applied to the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis oblique and vastus lateralis longus muscles.

“…Similarly, A recent study showed that applying KT to VMO can relieve pain and improve functional performance in general and quadriceps muscle strength in particular Athletes with PFPS. It can therefore be proposed to prescribe VMO taping as an effective therapeutic technique in the rehabilitation programs of this population [33].…”

Background Ligaments injury and anterior knee pain is the most common problem in the knee joint. In practice, there are various interventions for the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Kinesio taping is one of them, but little literature is available on the immediate effects of treating this problem. Methodology From June to September 2017, a randomized control study was conducted at the Army Sports Complex GHQ Rawalpindi to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) in patellofemoral pain syndrome in athletes. Data were collected from 48 athletes who fully met the inclusion criteria and were randomly divided into 2 groups. The data collection tool was Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Kujala PFPS Score, and self-structured Questionnaire. The data was analyzed on SPSS 21. Results The overall mean age was 22.7±3.0. The immediate effects showed improved NPRS in both groups; in the control group the NPRS pre 1st visit mean was 5.36±1.2 and post 1st visit mean was 4.68±1.3 with the difference of 0.68±0.1 having p value p<0.001. In the treatment group the NPRS pre 1st visit mean was 5.90±1.2 and post 1st visit mean was 5.00±1.0 with the difference of 0.90±0.1 having p value p<0.001. Conclusion This study shows immediate effects of Kinesio-Taping, however there was not any significant difference between both groups but the treatment group performed well after the sessions.
