“…Studies have found conflicting results depending on the type of subject tested. In those with PFP, improvements in knee flexion angles and knee extensor moments were found with tape 29,30 compared with reductions in knee flexion angles in asymptomatic subjects. 31 In order to better understand the mechanism of action of tape in those with PFP and to remove the confounding effect of pain, we investigated the effect of patellar tape on the EMG onset of the vasti, knee kinematics, and kinetics in individuals with a history of PFP who were currently pain free but had an existing VMO onset timing deficit.…”

This randomized within-subject study investigated the effects of patellar tape on the onset of electromyographic (EMG) activity of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) relative to vastus lateralis (VL), knee kinematics, and kinetics in 12 currently asymptomatic individuals with a VMO timing deficit and a history of patellofemoral pain. Participants were required to complete stair stepping and normal-pace and fast-pace walking tasks under three experimental conditions; no tape, control tape and therapeutic tape. EMG onsets of VMO and VL were measured by surface electrodes, stance phase knee flexion by the PEAK movement analysis system and vertical ground reaction force by a force plate. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance showed that neither therapeutic tape nor control tape had any effect on the EMG VMO-VL onset timing difference. Therapeutic tape, but not control tape, led to significant increases in stance phase knee flexion. The first peak vertical ground reaction force was lowered by both control and therapeutic tape but only during fast walking. The results suggest that tape induced effects on neuromotor control of the vasti seen in other studies are related to reductions in pain rather than the presence of a baseline timing deficit. However, this cannot explain the improvements in stance phase knee flexion observed with tape. ß

“…The 2 tasks appear to challenge the neuromuscular system in different manners, and both should continue to be used in the investigation of injury risk. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2007;37 (5) 18,30,35 While there have been several studies examining electromyographic activity 2,14,38,39,42,43 and sagittal plane knee kinematics and kinetics during the step-down or single-leg squat task, 1,2,7 few studies have examined the frontal and transverse plane kinematics of these tasks. 6,43 A number of studies have investigated lower extremity biomechanics of men and women in an effort to explain the disparity in noncontact ACL injury rates between genders.…”

“…This method stimulates skin, tendon, and muscle stimulation thus improving joint position sense and proprioception by reducing pain and enhancing recovery of patients. Ernst et al [36] showed that patellar taping on the knee joint improved the alignment of the patella and stability of the knee joints. Also, patella taping produced beneficial effects on balance ability of the knee joint and function of the lower extremity.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treadmill gait training with patellar taping on gait abilities in chronic stroke patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Thirty chronic stroke patients who have been diagnosed at least six months or before were recruited in Gyeongin Rehabilitation Center Hospital, located in Incheon. Patients who were enrolled in this study were randomized to experimental group (n=15) or control group (n=15). Treadmill with patella taping training group patients were applied with patellar taping when they were being trained on a treadmill. Control group patients were being trained on a treadmill without any kind of taping. Gait parameters were measured with a GAITRite Ⓡ system which evaluated gait performances. Gait trainings were done for 30 min/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks. Results: After treadmill training, treadmill with patella taping training group showed a significant improvement in gait abilities, including velocity, cadence, paretic and non-paretic step length, and double support period (p<0.05). However, in general treadmill group, there were no significant differences in gait parameters except velocity and cadence. There was a significant difference in gait performance in the experimental group compared with the control group, except for the gait symmetry ratio (p<0.05). Conclusions: According to this result of this study, it seems that application of patellar taping in treadmill gait training for chronic stroke patients significantly improved gait abilities of these patients. Also, we can conclude that patella taping is thought to be useful in real clinical settings where there are many chronic patients who are in need of improvement in their gait abilities.
