To examine the effect of the application of tape over the patella on the onset of electromyographic (EMG) activity of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) relative to vastus lateralis (VL) in participants with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
Randomised within subject.
University laboratory.
Ten participants with PFPS and 12 asymptomatic controls.
Three experimental taping conditions: no tape, therapeutic tape, and placebo tape.
Electromyographic onset of VMO and VL assessed during the concentric and eccentric phases of a stair stepping task.
When participants with PFPS completed the stair stepping task, the application of therapeutic patellar tape was found to alter the temporal characteristics of VMO and VL activation, whereas placebo tape had no effect. In contrast, there was no change in the EMG onset of VMO and VL with the application of placebo or therapeutic tape to the knee in the asymptomatic participants.
These data support the use of patellar taping as an adjunct to rehabilitation in people with PFPS.
研究在有和没有髌股疼痛综合征（PFPS）的参与者中，髌骨贴扎对股内侧斜肌（VMO）相对于股外侧肌（VL）肌电图（EMG）活动起始的影响。
受试者内随机设计。
大学实验室。
10名患有PFPS的参与者和12名无症状对照者。
三种实验性贴扎情况：不贴扎、治疗性贴扎和安慰剂贴扎。
在上下楼梯任务的向心和离心阶段评估VMO和VL的肌电图起始情况。
当患有PFPS的参与者完成上下楼梯任务时，发现应用治疗性髌骨贴扎会改变VMO和VL激活的时间特征，而安慰剂贴扎没有效果。相比之下，在无症状参与者中，对膝盖应用安慰剂或治疗性贴扎时，VMO和VL的肌电图起始情况没有变化。
这些数据支持将髌骨贴扎作为PFPS患者康复的辅助手段。
