      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: For first group McConnell taping will apply to correct the position of the patella layer was applied from lateral femoral condyle to just posterior of the medial femoral condyle. The patella will completely covered by the base layer. Second  layer will attached from the lateral patellar border to posterior of medial condyle. Intervention 2: For second group The kinsio taping will apply from the direction of origin to insertion with 25-50% of its maximal length tension؛ which was proposed to provide muscle facilitation effect. Intervention 3: For control group will not perform any taping.</i_freetext>
