Background and Aim: 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. This study examined the immediate effects of kinesio tape (KT) and dynamic tape (DT) on the center of pressure (CoP) oscillations and time to stabilization (TTS) in women with PFPS.
Methods: Thirty-nine women with PFPS (aged 20-30) 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 was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) 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 (EsO) and eyes-closed (EsC) 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: The findings suggest that DT was more effective than KT and that 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.
