Purpose: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common condition characterized by pain in the front of the knee. Patellar taping can be an effective intervention for reducing painful symptoms. 
Methods: A total of 39 women with PFPS (aged 20-30 years) participated in this randomized crossover trial. The CoP oscillations during the single-leg stance test and TTS after descending the step were evaluated and recorded on three separate days under the following conditions: without tape (WT or control), with DT and with KT. This was done using a foot pressure measurement system. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance with a significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: Comparing three different conditions demonstrated that the CoP sway, including the mediolateral and anteroposterior oscillations, sway area, path length, and average velocity of oscillations significantly decreased in the eyes-open and eyes-closed states during the DT condition as compared to the WT (P<0.05). Furthermore, the TTS significantly decreased in the DT condition compared to the WT (P<0.001) and KT (P=0.007) conditions. KT reduced CoP variables only in the EsC condition (P<0.05).
Conclusion: DT was more effective than KT and this intervention enhances postural control in women with PFPS. Given its positive effects, it is recommended that future research investigate the long-term impact of utilizing this intervention.
