The Sterotape patella taping kit provides both tapes required for clinical patella tracking correction in a single twin pack. The two-tape system includes the anchor tape and correction tape needed for the McConnell or modified patella taping technique, used by physiotherapists and sports therapists to manage anterior knee pain and patellofemoral syndrome.
Compliance Summary: The patella taping kit contains medical-grade tapes for clinical knee taping technique. Patella taping should be performed by or under the guidance of a qualified physiotherapist or sports therapist trained in the specific taping protocol.
What is patella taping used for?
Patella taping corrects the tracking of the kneecap during movement, reducing pain caused by patellofemoral syndrome (anterior knee pain). The tape gently guides the kneecap into better alignment during walking, running, and stair climbing, reducing friction and inflammation. The technique is typically prescribed by a physiotherapist.
Can I apply patella tape myself?
Patella taping technique should initially be taught by a qualified physiotherapist who can assess your specific tracking pattern and demonstrate the correct tape placement. Once you have been shown the technique and practised under supervision, self-application is possible for ongoing management between physiotherapy appointments.
