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. <ref name="een">Ronald P. Pfeiffer, Mark DeBeliso, Kevin G. Shea, Lorrie Kelley, Bobbie Irmischer and Chad Harris., Kinematic MRI Assessment of McConnell Taping Before and After Exercise, The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2004; 32: 621 – 628</ref>
== Definition/Description  ==
 
The McConnell taping technique was developed to correct altered patellofemoral kinematics and permit participation in normal daily activity. <ref name="twee">Aditya Derasari, Timothy J. Brindle, Katharine E. Alter, Frances T. Sheehan., McConnell Taping Shifts the Patella Inferiorly in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain: A Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study, Physical Therapy, 2010; 90 (3): 411 – 420</ref>
 
== Technique<br> ==
 
McConnell taping is accomplished by way of application of specialized adhesive tape applied across the anterior aspect of the patella, pulling from lateral to medial, to in effect “medialize” the patellofemoral joint (PFJ). Once applied the patients should experience a reduction in their symptoms associated with PFPS, thus enabling them to engage in physical therapy exercise. As such, the ability of the strapping procedure to maintain the medialized position of the patella is critical for the duration of the physical activity. <ref name="een">Ronald P. Pfeiffer, Mark DeBeliso, Kevin G. Shea, Lorrie Kelley, Bobbie Irmischer and Chad Harris., Kinematic MRI Assessment of McConnell Taping Before and After Exercise, The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2004; 32: 621 – 628</ref>
 
Begin lying on your back, with the knee slightly bent, but completely relaxed and a foam roller or rolled up towel under the knee. <br>Start the tape in line with the middle of the knee cap at the outer aspect of the knee. Using your thumb on top of the sports tape, gently push the knee cap towards the inner aspect of the knee whilst simultaneously using your fingers to pull the skin at the inner aspect of the knee towards the knee cap. Finish this taping technique at the inner aspect of the knee ensuring you have created some wrinkling of the skin at the inner aspect of the knee. Repeat this process 1 - 3 times depending on the amount of support required. <ref name="drie">http://www.physioadvisor.com.au/11343550/patella-taping-mcconnell-taping-physioadvisor.htm</ref>


<br>McConnell taping medialized the patella in participants who demonstrated lateral displacement at baseline and lateralized the patella in participants who demonstrated medial patellar displacement at baseline. <ref name="twee" />
== Purpose<br> ==


The McConnell taping technique can also help keep the kneecap in alignment. This can help reestablish normal movement and allow the muscles that hold the kneecap in place to redevelop properly. <ref name="vier">eMedecineHealth, Judy Dundas, Maria Essig, Pat Truman, William H.
