      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Subjects were randomly assigned to study groups. At the baseline, sealed envelopes were prepared by the researcher. The inside of envelopes contained the name of study groups (experimental or control group) which each subject should randomly select and picked one. Then after opening the envelopes, the subject was allocated to the groups, Blinding description: All subjects participating in this study were unaware of other groups. The laboratory manager who was responsible for doing all the tests neither knew subjects grouping nor talk with them in this regard. The research colleague who has done the data analyzing were also unaware of subjects grouping.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: exercise therapy. Patients in this group performed selective exercises for patellofemoral pain syndrome three times a week for eight weeks. The exercise programme includes warm-up, strengthening and stretching exercises. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: exercise therapy with Kinesio taping. In this group before training , for each subject knee taping perform with Kinesio tape. after that patient performed selective exercises for patellofemoral pain syndrome three times a week for eight weeks.  The  3NS TEX Kinesio type was used in this study.  The training program was similar to intervention group 1. Intervention 3: Control group: daily routine activities. In the control group, subjects did not receive intervention within eight weeks.</i_freetext>
