Résumé
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common knee disorders affecting women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of balance taping on PFPS. Balance taping using kinesiology tape was applied for 2.5 months (average of 16 h/day) to both knees in a 26-year-old female nurse with bilateral PFPS. The congruence angle decreased in the right and left knees from 30∘ to 5∘ and from 20∘ to 5∘, respectively. The Patient Specific Functional Scale score increased from 17/50 to 50/50, indicating improved functional state of the knees, while the Numeric Pain Rating Scale scores for from sitting to standing, from standing to sitting, and kneeling improved from 6/10 and 0/10, indicating no pain in the knee joints. Application of repeated balance taping for 2.5 months reduced PFPS. Considering the outcome of the study, we recommend balance taping as a complementary treatment method for PFPS.
