Efficacy of Kinesio Taping and McConell Taping Techniques in the Management of Anterior Knee Pain.

CONCLUSION:: A variety of taping methods can potentially reduce perceived pain in individuals with PFPS, allowing clinicians to perform rehabilitation exercises. Sensory effects associated with short term taping may be sufficient enough to modify knee pain acutely by afferent input blocking nocioceptive pain, before the participants could adapt. Most interestingly, the ST technique demonstrated promise for enhancing functional outcomes, depending on the length of the tape and area covered. PMID: 30526288 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
