Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Outcome found 1: Our results suggest that elastic bandages are effective in reducing pain in women with PFPS both when applied with tension and without tension, with better results for progressive tensioning, which in addition to greater pain reduction also improved the participants' functionality , having no influence on muscle activations during tasks. In this way, the application of bandages proved to be effective and an ally in the treatment of PFPS.;Expected outcome 1: By evaluating the influence of the bandage application protocol with and without tension, an improvement in pain, functionality, muscle activation and strength in women with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is expected.—
