Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition, particularly among young adults. PFPS usually presents with anterior knee pain, weakness of gluteal muscles and impaired motor control during activities of daily living. A corrective exercise program (CEP) consisting of neuromuscular training and hip muscle strengthening in conjunction with Kinesio taping is an effective management strategy. Thirty patients with PFPS participated in this study design. Two groups were formed, one of which (n=15) received CEP and Kinesio Taping. The other group (n=15) received only Kinesio Taping. The outcome was measured using a Patient Specific Functional Scale and a Visual Analogue Scale. After a four-week program that included three sessions per week of CEP, it was observed that CEP combined with Kinesio Taping produced a more substantial and positive result than the other group. CEP in conjunction with Kinesio Taping was found to be an effective management strategy in PFPS. CEP with Kinesio Taping resulted in significant pain reduction and improvement in activities of daily living in young adult population with PFPS. |
