Patellofemoral pain syndrome(PFPS), also called Peripatellar Tendinitis in Merchant's classification (1988), is the clinical entity of pain on activity, on patellofemoral joint examination and on stair climbing, squatting, pseudo locking, prolonged sitting etc. Varieties of conservative treatments are suggested, including quadriceps strengthening, patellar taping, stretching, electrotherapy and biofeedback with no single intervention being most effective. Hence,a comparison between the two techniques - patellar taping and the conventional method has been undertaken to determine their effectiveness with respect to pain and function.
