Effects of femoral rotational taping on pain, lower extremity kinematics, and muscle activation in female patients with patellofemoral pain
Instructions: First, the participant was asked to maximally rotate her femur externally and maintain this position in standing. Second, the ther- apist applied a piece of I-shaped kinesiotape anchoring at the inferior-medial aspect of the thigh. Third, the therapist pulled the tape superiorly and laterally, spiraling up the thigh and diagonally crossing the buttock; then anchored the base of the I-tape at the ipsilateral PSIS. To standardize the rotational pulling force, moderate tape tension (approximately 20% stretch) was provided.
