Brief Summary: ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the different effects among the quadriceps strength training taping and stretching exercise of iliotibial band in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome by randomized control trial study

MethodAn observer blind prospective factorial design randomized controlled trail 90 young adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomly allocated into one of three treatment groups 1 Quadriceps strength training 2 taping and 3 stretch Each group received treatment for 8 weeks

HypothesisPatients in quadriceps strength training group may get most outcomes in three groups
Detailed Description: IntroductionPatellofemoral pain syndrome PFPS is a common knee disorder Factors that cause patellofemoral pain include over use soft tissue imbalance and malalignment of lower extremity Patients with patellofemoral pain caused by soft tissue imbalance was thought to be favorite to receive physical therapies Clinically physical therapies for patients with PFPS are including Quadriceps strength training taping and stretching exercise The aforementioned treatment tools showed different effect mechanism However there were few clinical studies to compare the clinical effects among the aforementioned three treatment tools The purpose of this study was to investigate the different effects among the quadriceps strength training taping and stretching exercise of iliotibial band in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome by randomized control trial study

MethodsAn observer blind prospective factorial design randomized controlled trail 90 young adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomly allocated into one of three treatment groups 1 Quadriceps strength training 2 taping and 3 stretch Each group received treatment for 8 weeks

Outcome measures were including visual analog scales for worst pain active-active joint reposition error test the Chinese version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and one repetition maximum recorded at baseline and after the interventions for 8 weeks
