Question
For a patient with PFPS who has pain on descending stairs , on examination you noted PFJ medial glide is stiff and you decided to tape his patella to improve with pain on descending stairs . Which of the following statements mentioned below are most appropriate1 pointTape patella and mobilise after taping the patellaMobilise PFJ first and then tape the patella glided mediallyMassage ITB and then tape the patella glided mediallyStretch quads and then tape the patella glided medially
Solution
The most appropriate statement would be to "Mobilise PFJ first and then tape the patella glided medially".
Here's why:
-
Mobilising the Patellofemoral Joint (PFJ) first can help to improve the joint's mobility and reduce stiffness. This can potentially alleviate some of the patient's pain.
-
Taping the patella after mobilisation can help to maintain the improved joint position and provide support. This can help to further reduce pain and improve function, especially during activities like descending stairs.
-
The other options, such as massaging the Iliotibial Band (ITB) or stretching the quadriceps, may not directly address the identified problem of PFJ medial glide stiffness. Therefore, they may not be as effective in this specific case.
