Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the effect Multimodal physical therapy with and without McConnell taping on pain, functional limitation and severity of symptoms in patients with anterior knee pain.

Conditions

Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome

Keywords

Anterior Knee Pain; McConnell taping; Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Visual Analog Scale

  Visual analog scale is a self-assessing questionnaire comprising 10cm line with 0 representing no pain and 10 is worst pain. Reliability of VAS in patients with anterior knee pain is .60 to .79 for usual pain and .88 for worst pain.

  4rth week

• Lower Extremity Functional Scale

  The Lower Extremity Functional Scale is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The score for each task is separated in 5 categories "0" (extreme difficulty or unable to perform activity), "1" (quite a bit of difficulty), "2" (moderate difficulty), "3" (a little bit of difficulty) and "4" (no difficulty). The maximal function is 80 points.

  4rth week

• Anterior Knee Pain Scale

  The Anterior Knee pain Scale questionnaire consist of 13 items assessing subjective symptoms and functional limitation of the patients with anterior knee pain. The score ranges from 0 (worst condition) to 100 (normal knee condition, no symptoms and no daily functional restrictions).

  4rth week

Study Arms (2)

Multimodal therapy with McConnell taping

EXPERIMENTAL

Multimodal therapy includes core exercises, hip exercises and vastus medialis training. MacConnell taping will be applied during exercise and then nearly for 18 hours according to patient's comfort.

Other: Multimodal therapy with McConnell taping

Multimodal therapy without McConnell taping

EXPERIMENTAL

Multimodal therapy includes core exercises, hip exercises and vastus medialis training.

Other: Multimodal therapy without McConnell taping

Interventions

Multimodal therapy with McConnell taping OTHER

Multimodal therapy includes core exercises, hip exercises and vastus medialis training. Core exercises include curls ups, toa taps, side planks, supine straight leg raising, side lying straight leg raising, prone knee flexion, draw foot circles in supine and side lying, prone cobra, hip and knee extension, weight bearing, hip flexion sitting on ball, wight bearing forward and backward on the ball, stairs up on Swiss ball. Hip training includes Hip abduction, Hip external rotation in standing and sitting. VMO muscle strengthening will includes squats with a ball.
