Abstract

Background: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal problem especially in adolescents and patellar tracking or malposition and lower limb muscle strength have been implicated a contributing factor. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare between the effect of Whole Body Vibration technique versus Kinesio-Taping technique on pain threshold, pain intensity and functional level "mobility" in patients with Patello-Femoral Pain Syndrome. Methods: Forty five patients of both genders with age ranged from eighteen to forty years old participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into three groups (Group A, Group B and Group C). Group A consisted of 15 patients received Whole Body Vibration technique (3 sessions per week for 4 weeks) in addition to conventional physical therapy exercises, Group B consisted of 15 patients received Kinesio-Taping technique (2 sessions per week for 4 weeks) in addition to conventional physical therapy exercises, Group C consisted of 15 patients received conventional physical therapy exercises only (3 sessions per week for 4 weeks). Pain threshold was measured by pressure algometry, pain intensity was measured by visual analogue scale and functional level was measured by kujala patellofemoral questionnaire.
