Effects of Kinesio Taping Versus McConnell Taping on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. (PFPS)
Effects of Kinesio Taping Versus McConnell Taping on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. A Randomized Clinical Trial.
The primary goal of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to evaluate whether Kinesio Taping versus McConnell Taping, when integrated into a standardized hip-knee strengthening and neuromuscular control program, produces significant effects in individuals aged 18-50 with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
The main question it aims to answer is: Does Kinesio Taping compared with McConnell Taping when both combined with a standardized hip-knee exercise program, produce different effects on quadriceps neuromuscular activation (VMO-VL sEMG), pain, functional knee pain, and dynamic knee valgus over a 6 week period intervention?
Participants will be divided into three groups for comparison: the control group will receive a structured hip-knee physical therapy exercise program without any taping intervention, Kinesio Taping group with a standardized exercise program, and a McConnell Taping group with a standardized exercise program.

Description détaillée
Kinesio Taping and McConnell Taping are commonly used as adjuncts to exercise therapy in the management of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Both techniques have been shown to improve pain and function in the short term; however, evidence directly comparing their long-term effects when combined with a standardized exercise program remains limited. Furthermore, the influence of taping modality on quadriceps muscle activation and lower-limb kinematic patterns during rehabilitation has not been fully established.
Based on this, the investigators hypothesize that both interventions will improve clinical and neuromuscular outcomes.

Que mesure l'étude ?
Principaux critères de jugement
Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
VMO and VL Muscle Activation Amplitude
Délai: Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Surface electromyography (sEMG) amplitude of the Vastus Medialis Obliquus (VMO) and Vastus Lateralis (VL) muscles recorded during a standardized single-leg squat task.
Higher values indicate greater muscle activation.
|
Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
|
VMO/VL Activation Ratio
Délai: Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Ratio of VMO to VL electromyographic activity during a standardized single-leg squat task.
The ideal VMO/VL ratio should be close or equal to 1; a ratio greater than 1 reflects higher VMO activation, while a ratio less than 1 reflects a greater VL activation.
|
Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
|
VMO Onset Timing
Délai: Baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Period from movement initiation to onset of VMO and VL activation, measured using sEMG during a standardized single-leg squat task; measured in ms.
|
Baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
|
VMO-VL Activation Delay
Délai: Baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Difference in activation onset timing between the VMO and VL muscles during a standardized single-leg squat task, measured using sEMG; measured in ms.
|
Baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Mesures de résultats secondaires
Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain Intensity
Délai: Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Task-specific pain intensity measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain; measured during a standardized single-leg squat, reflecting pain experienced during functional loading.
|
Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
|
Functional Knee Pain
Délai: Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
Knee-related symptoms and functional disability assessed using the Kujala Score (AKPS), ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicating better knee function and lower disability.
|
Baseline and post-intervention (6 weeks).
|
|
Dynamic Knee Valgus
Délai: Baseline and post intervention (6 weeks).
|
Frontal-plane projection angle in degrees, measured during a standardized single-leg squat to quantify lower-limb movement quality and dynamic knee control under functional load.
|
Baseline and post intervention (6 weeks).
