      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Parallel groups, single blinded, single setting, Randomization description: The patients having diagnosed patellofemoral pain syndrome was recruited in the study by convenient sampling, and the patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria was selected, with similar baseline characteristics. The consent was taken from the subjects to participate in the study. It was a single blinded trial in which the assessor was kept blind. The subjects was randomly assigned to one of two groups by using a lottery method, using a restricted randomization scheme to assure equal numbers in each group. Random allocation to all groups was ensured, from all study personnel and participants by entry of data, Blinding description: it was a single blinded trial in which participant/ patients were kept blind about the 2 of treatment technique which was provided to them during management session.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: 60 athlete patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups, 30 patients in each group. Group A patient were treated with Kinesio taping. Taking in account an inclusion and exclusion criteria before enrolling them in this study. Informed consent was considered in written about their willingness in the study. Volunteers was provided with the detailed information i.e. both verbal and written regarding the study procedure. Both groups receive conventional therapy, that was TENS, ultrasound and quadriceps exercises. Assessment was done before and after the application of tape. For the baseline measure, Pre tape assessment, which was measured just before the application of tape, Post taping assessment after 24 hours while tape still in place and follow up measurement after 24 hours of tape removal.  Pre tape assessment was used as baseline measurement. Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) was used for the measurement actual dynamic postural control. To measure the functional activity LEFS was be used. SEBT assessment was done in i.e. anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral direction. Group A (Kinesio taping): -                  Kinesio taping plusTENS plus ultrasound plus quadriceps exercises. Dosage: - o	K-taping for 24 hourso	Ultrasound = 1MHZ, 0.8W/cm2, for 4 minutes o	TENS= 100Hz, 50 µ s pulse, 20 minutes.o	Quadriceps exercise = 10 times repetition. Intervention 2: Intervention group:  60 athlete patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups, 30 patients in each group. Group B patient were treated with McConnell taping. Taking in account an inclusion and exclusion criteria before enrolling them in this study. Informed consent was considered in written about their willingness in the study. Volunteers was provided with the detailed information i.e. both verbal and written regarding the study procedure. Both groups receive conventional therapy, that was TENS, ultrasound and quadriceps exercises. Assessment was done before and after the application of tape.

Dosage: - o	M-taping for 24 hourso	Ultrasound = 1MHZ, 0.8W/cm2, for 4 minutes o	TENS= 100Hz, 50 µ s pulse, 20 minutes.o	Quadriceps exercise = 10 times repetition.</i_freetext>
