| Abstract | Background and objectives: Patellar taping has been widely used for the primary or adjunctive treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS); however, there are limited data in terms of functional outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether there is any beneficial effect of adding Kinesio Taping® (KT) to exercise therapy in the treatment of PFPS. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients (27.5 ± 5.4 years) with PFPS who applied KT and 19 patients (27.3 ± 7.4 years) who did not were included in this study. Quadriceps muscle strength and acceleration time (AT) were assessed using an isokinetic device. Patient-reported outcomes were evaluated using the Kujala anterior knee pain scale (AKPS). Both groups underwent one-month exercise therapy. Results: There was no significant difference in quadriceps strength, AT, and AKPS at baseline and at 1 month between the taping and non-taping groups (p > 0.05). However, for quadriceps muscle strength, the effect of time*group interaction was statistically significant (F(1.37) = 4.543, p < 0.05, partial eta squared 0.109), showing that improvement in the quadriceps strength was higher in the non-taping group than that in the taping group. Conclusions: Adding KT to exercise therapy did not elicit extra benefits in quadriceps muscle strength and AT, and AKPS among PFPS with abnormal patellar tracking at one month. |
