Abstract
Background and Objective: Patellar Kinesio-Taping (KT) and McConnell taping (MT) both techniques have been individually advocated for reducing the pain and support to the knee joint as well as improved ‘Hop’ function activity in anterior knee pain or patello-femoral pain syndrome (PFPS) but comparison of both these techniques have not been explored in studies. The purpose of the study was to find immediate effect of Patellar Kinesio-Taping vs McConnell Taping on pain and ‘Hop’ function in subjects with patella-femoral pain syndrome.
Material and Method: A pre and post comparative study was done on 40 subjects mean age group of 16-30 years were included in the study. KT and MT both groups received Patellar Kinesio-taping and Patellar McConnell taping for single time respectively. VAS scale and Hop test (single leg triple jump) were taken before and after intervention. The intervention was given once in a day, in one week and each session lasts for 15-30 minutes. Data was analyzed by Paired and Unpaired t test, Pearson Chi-Square test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney U test.
Results: There was very statistical significant difference (P<0.0001) within the groups and no statistical significant difference between the groups in VAS score (during rest, step up, squatting, step down) and hop test (single leg triple jump test) after intervention.
Conclusion: The present study concludes that both kinesio taping and McConnell taping techniques are effective on reducing pain in functional activity step up, step down, squatting and also improving hop function activity in patellofemoral pain syndrome.
