Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a chronic disease. Its early symptoms are mild and can be relieved by rest after the pain. If there is no effective rehabilitation, it may develop into patellofemoral arthritis. Physiotherapy and appropriate exercise intervention can improve PFPS and postural control during exercise. Tan Tui (TT) is an effective means to improve postural control. Whether combined kinesio taping (KT) can be used as an effective treatment for PFPS patients' recovery has not yet been confirmed.
METHODS/DESIGN: Seventy-two eligible patients with early-stage PFPS will be recruited and randomized into 4 groups: TT + KT group (n = 18), TT + KTp group (n = 18), KT group (n = 18), and CON group (n = 18). The TT + KT group was treated with TT combined with KT intervention; the TT + KTp group was treated with TT and KT placebo technical intervention; the KT group was treated with KT intervention alone; the CON group was treated with routine activities. All 4 groups received 30 min, three times a week, for a total of 6 weeks of intervention training. Measurements will be performed at baseline, mid-intervention (4 weeks), and post-intervention (6 weeks) with visual analog scale/score, (VAS), Knee joint Lysholm function score (Lysholm), UniPedal Stance Test (UST), Star Excursion Balance Test ( SEBT), Relative Peak Torque, (RPT), and Knee joint Position PercePtion (KJPP), to check the maintenance of the effect of any intervention.
For the first time in this trial, the impact will be evaluated. If the results are the same as expected, they will provide evidence that TT combined with KT sticking intervention can promote the posture control of patients with early PFPS.

髌股疼痛综合征（PFPS）是一种慢性疾病。其早期症状较轻，疼痛后休息可缓解。若未进行有效康复，可能发展为髌股关节炎。物理治疗和适当的运动干预可改善 PFPS 患者的运动中髌股疼痛综合征和姿势控制。推拿（TT）是改善姿势控制的有效手段。联合运动贴布（KT）是否可作为 PFPS 患者康复的有效治疗方法尚未得到证实。
方法/设计：将招募 72 例早期 PFPS 患者，并将其随机分为 4 组：TT+KT 组（n=18）、TT+KTp 组（n=18）、KT 组（n=18）和 CON 组（n=18）。TT+KT 组采用 TT 联合 KT 干预治疗；TT+KTp 组采用 TT 和 KT 安慰剂技术干预；KT 组采用 KT 干预治疗；CON 组采用常规活动治疗。所有 4 组均接受 30 分钟，每周 3 次，共 6 周的干预训练。在基线、干预中期（4 周）和干预后（6 周）进行视觉模拟评分/评分（VAS）、膝关节 Lysholm 功能评分（Lysholm）、单足站立试验（UST）、星形伸展平衡测试（SEBT）、相对峰值扭矩（RPT）和膝关节位置感知（KJPP）测量，以检查任何干预措施效果的维持情况。
在这项试验中，首次评估了 TT 联合 KT 贴布干预对早期 PFPS 患者的影响。如果结果与预期一致，将为 TT 联合 KT 贴布干预能促进早期 PFPS 患者的姿势控制提供证据。
