简要总结
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the most common young adult female complaints, caused by changes in the patellofemoral joint's physical and biomechanical properties. This study compared the Short-term effects of patellar taping combined with isometric contraction of quadriceps muscle strengthening at 900 or 600 knee angles on quadriceps strength and functional performance in a female patient with patello-femoral pain syndrome (PFPS)
