Comparison of New Technique Taping and Placebo Taping on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Randomised Controlled Study

We included in this study 42 individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome. 39 of them were completed six weeks of exercise and other groups. We randomized them into three groups. One group is the star technique which is a new patellar taping technique. Another group is placebo taping and the third group is only the exercise group. Both groups performed exercises three times a week for six weeks. Three groups were assessed with knee and hip muscles strength, shortness, performance tests, pain severity in the activity, night, rest, and knee-buckling, and Kujala Scale before and after 4-week exercises.
