Description[edit | edit source]
Patellar taping was originally developed by Jenny McConnell and is a simple, inexpensive self management strategy.
The aim of patellar taping is to create a mechanical realignment in order to correct malalignments of the patella and to reduce pain.
Indications[edit | edit source]
Patellar taping is used as a treatment of the following disorders.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
The main characteristics for the above mentioned knee-diseases are:
- pain,
- (morning) stiffness,
- instability of the joint,
- swelling,
- decrease of muscle power and
- difficulties in activities of daily living.
In most of the cases these symptoms aggravate during physical activities such as: ascending and descending stairs, kneeling, running and squatting.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

The second movie shows another taping technique especially for knee instability .
Main advantages of patella taping[edit | edit source]
Pain reduction[edit | edit source]
Almost all studies have demonstrated an immediate decrease in pain during provocative exercise. Studies also found that medial patellar tape induced a significantly greater pain reduction than the lateral patellar tape. Especially patients who suffer from knee osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain syndrome and chronic knee pain experience a significant pain reduction.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Improvement in disability[edit | edit source]
On patients with knee osteoarthritis research demonstrated that therapeutic patellar tape improves the disability of the knee. This advantage of therapeutic tape was maintained until three weeks after stopping treatment. Up until now, the long-term effects are not scientifically proven. Differences have been found between the experimental and the control group, however, the results are insignificant.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Effect on quadriceps function[edit | edit source]
Patellar taping demonstrated significantly greater concentric and eccentric quadriceps torque.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title,10) Another article found significantly greater knee extensor moments and power during weight-bearing activities such as vertical jump and lateral step up in taped conditions in PFPS subjects.(10) There are several possible explanations but they need to be explored in further studies. This benefit is important for patients with PFPS, because decreased quadriceps contractions may lead to a diminution of the shock absorption during weight bearing thus further increasing the load on the patellofemoral joint. An increase in quadriceps muscle force can directly heighten the patellofemoral joint reaction force during gait, so patellar taping is very important for the treatment of PFPS.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Effect on knee joint during gait[edit | edit source]
Patients with PFPS have significantly less knee flexion during gait and walk significantly slower. These factors will reduce the load on the patellofemoral joint and will decrease the demand on the quadriceps function. Patellar taping demonstrated a small but significant increase of knee flexion while the patients walk at two different speeds, up and down ramps and stairs.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Effect on the activation/timing of the vastii[edit | edit source]
Patients with PFPS demonstrate decreased activation levels of the vastus medialis and the vastus lateralis. Coordinated contraction of these muscles is important for the patellar alignment during activity ( walk up and down the stairs). The benefit of the patella tape is the raise of the activation or timing of the vastus medialis relative to the vastus lateralis or conversely, the decrease activation of the vastus lateralis relative to the vastus medialis. During step down tasks the contraction of the vastus medialis occurred earlier in taped conditions. This earlier activation may alter the movement of the patella. This benefit should be further explored in order to be more confident of the results.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Re-align the patella[edit | edit source]
The three most common radiographic measurements alignments of the patella are: the patellofemoral congruence angle (PFCA), the lateral patellofemoral angle (LPFA) and the lateral patellar displacement (LPD). The PFCA represents lateral patellar glide and lateral tilt, the LPFA represents lateral patellar tilt, while the LPD quantifies the position of the patella in the frontal plane relative to the medial femoral condyle in millimeters. A few studies have provided the evidence that medial patellar taping can confer a radiographic positional change of the patella in PFPS subjects. Researchers found a significant change in LPFA and LPD with patellar tape in PFPS subjects They suggest that this may be sufficient to create a subtle alternation in intra-articular or inter-osseous pressure. So patellar tape can influence patellar position in LPFA and LPD. The benefit of taping on the PFCA is not proven.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.
