Immediate effects of patellar taping on electromyographic indices of Vastus medialis oblique and Vastus lateralis muscles in Patellofemoral pain syndrome
Evaluation of the immediate effectiveness of patellar taping on electromyographic indices of Vastus medialis oblique(VMO) and Vastus lateralis(VL) muscles in Patellofemoral pain syndrome(PFPS)
Design
In this randomized, blinded study, 35 patients aged 20-50 years with PFPS are selected. KT on patella will be used for all people.The muscular activity of individuals in closed and open chain kinematic will be examined with an EMG device that the order of these activities is done randomly for individuals. A secondary evaluation is performed on the same day after patellar taping to evaluate the immediate effects of patellar taping on knee muscle activity.
Settings and conduct
Emg data analyzer will not know if the recorded information is pre- or post-taping.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In. criteria : Anterior knee pain for at least a month; Feeling of pain when touching the medial and lateral borders of the patella; Exacerbation of symptoms during prolonged sitting, climbing stairs, squatting, running and jumping activities; positive Clark test; Pain during resistance knee extension
ex. criteria : History of direct trauma to the patella; History of patella dislocation; Any rheumatic conditions (OA, RA); Diabetes; Any trauma and injury of meniscus; Ligament instability; Referral pain from the lower back, hip, pelvis, and SI region; Significant inflammation and effusion of the knee joint; knee surgery; Steroid injection; knee physiotherapy; Severe knee pain; Lower limb malalignment (anteversion of femur, genovarum and genovalgum, flat foot)
Intervention groups
In order to evaluate the immediate effectiveness of kinesiotaping(KT) on muscle activity, a Y-shaped tape will be used on the patella.
Main outcome variables
Onset time of EMG activity and the amount of amplitude of EMG activity of VMO and VL muscles and the ampltude ratio of them during closed and open chain kinematic

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, muscle activity in closed and open chain kinematics will be examined during 6 tests. The sequence of these tests is done randomly for individuals based on a table of random numbers.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The person who will analyze the electromyographic data will not know if the recorded information is relevant before or after taping.
Placebo

Assignment
Single
Other design features
Investigation of the effect of patellar taping on all three electromyographic indicators (onset-amplitude-amp ratio) simultaneously؛Comparison of the effect of taping on open and closed chain kinematic of the lower limb؛Comparison of the effect of taping in different positions of the lower limb, including internal and external rotation of the hip

Intervention groups
1
Description
Intervention group: The Y-shaped kinesiotape strip will be placed on the patella. The patient will be seated or supine while the affected knee is bent. The base of the Y-shaped strip will be placed without stretching on the surface of the Quadriceps femoris half muscle. The tape continues with a slight stretch(25%) in the direction of the patella. After correcting the location of the patella, the inner tail of the tape is placed along the medial border of the patella and the outer tail is placed along the lateral border of the patella and ends without stretching on the patellar tendon.
