NCT03117205

Brief Summary

Background: Recently, several professionals are using the Kinesio Taping® in the treatment of pathologies related to the knee, aiming to improve the motor control, increase the response of muscle activation and promoting better joint stability. Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the application of Kinesio Taping® in motor control of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: This is a 2-arm, randomized with a blinded assessor. We selected 40 women with patellofemoral pain (age 25.2±4,years) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: placebo group (n= 20) and the Kinesio Taping® group (n=20). The placebo group received the application of a non-stretchable tape (Micropore) crosswise on the thigh and the Kinesio Taping® group followed all the criteria of the method in placing the bandage. All patients received the evaluation of the motor control banding pre and post a patch, by means of the method Y balance test.
