| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Delayed onset time of Vastus medialis oblique activity. Timepoint: Before patellar taping and immediately after patellar taping. Method of measurement: Electromyograph. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intensity of pain. Timepoint: Before patellar taping and immediately after patellar taping. Method of measurement: Analog visual scale.;Amplitude of Vastus medialis oblique. Timepoint: Before patellar taping and immediately after patellar taping. Method of measurement: Electromyograph.;Amplitude of Vastus lateralis. Timepoint: Before patellar taping and immediately after patellar taping. Method of measurement: Electromyograph.;The ratio of VMO/VL amplitude. Timepoint: Before patellar taping and immediately after patellar taping.
