      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Single, Purpose: Treatment, 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, 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 description: The person who will analyze the electromyographic data will not know if the recorded information is relevant before or after taping.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>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..</i_freetext>
