Introduction[edit | edit source]
Taping has been indicated as a physiotherapy treatment for many different knee presentations however much of the evidence is contradictory. There is a plethora of research on taping particularly in relation to PFPS and patella alignment which is conflicting and difficult to make sense of. Taping is one of the adjunct treatments that we as physiotherapists might use with our patients in combination with well supported techniques such as patient education and exercise therapy. We could argue that if taping has a positive effect, be it palcebo or mechanical, then we should use it.
There is good evidence for using taping with sports injuries in the knee. There is contradicting evidence for using taping to improve lower limb biomechanics, particularly patella alignment, to reduce pain and improve function in conditions such as PFPS.
