Purpose
[edit source]
The purpose of the McConnell taping procedures is to correct abnormal patellar tracking to allow the patient to engage in physical therapy exercise pain free. Although there are several variations of the taping procedure recommended, depending on the specific needs of the patient (eg, glide, tilt, and/or rotation), as reported by McConnell, nearly all patients require a medial glide of their patellas. [1]
The McConnell taping technique was developed to correct altered patellofemoral kinematics and permit participation in normal daily activity. [2]
