Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness of adding Dynamic Tape® to a progressive load exercise program in patients with patellar tendinopathy.

Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Setting

University research.

Participants

Forty-eight subjects with patellar tendinopathy.

Methods

Participants were divided into two groups: dynamic group, which received progressive load exercises and Dynamic Tape®, and sham group, which received progressive load exercises and sham taping. The intervention was conducted three times per week over 12 weeks.

Main outcome measures

The pain during decline squatting was assessed using a visual analog scale. The severity of patellar tendinopathy was measured using the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Patella (VISA-P).

Results

There was no effect of group-time interaction for the pain (Z = 0.844, p = 0.472) or severity (Z = 1.275, p = 0.286) of patellar tendinopathy. Reduced pain and severity were observed over time (p < 0.05), however there was no between-group differences (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

Dynamic Tape® does not provide additional benefits when combined with a progressive load exercise program for reducing pain and severity in patellar tendinopathy.

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
