Brief Summary

Introduction: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is related to the previous sore knee, change functionality and postural control deficits. One of the possibilities for pain control and better positioning of the patella is the rigid bandage patellar widely used by clinicians and researchers. Objective: To evaluate the effect of rigid patellar bandage on postural control, pain and function in sedentary women with PFPS. Methods: The sample will be composed of 30 volunteers, sedentary, between 18 and 55 years; randomized group Bandage Functional Rigid (n = 15) and Banding Placebo (n = 15). All fill the Personal Data Sheet, Visual analog scale Pain Questionnaire Previous Knee Pain Scale; and will be submitted to analysis of postural control (static and dynamic) and carry out the test and sit up in pre conditions and post application of the bandage. Hypothesis: Expected to observe the effect of rigid patellar bandage in pain, function and postural control in sedentary women with PFPS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• change the balance after the intervention by force platform

  It will be measured the oscillations through various force platform variables before and after the intervention (taping or placebo, depending on the group) to see if there is change in the balance after the implementation of these interventions.

Study Arms (2)

Group taping McConnell

OTHER

Taping patellar McConnell: Lateralization correction of the patella with self-adhesive rigid bandage Johnson® positioned lateral border of the patella to the medial condyle of the femur, allowing the lifting of the medial border of the patella and stretching of the knee lateral structures.

Other: taping patellar McConnell

Group placebo taping

OTHER

Placebo taping through vertical application of patellar rigid taping, with the knee in flexion without medialization of the patella.

Other: Placebo taping
