      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, 3 interventions of kinesio tape, dynamic tape, and control are investigated and compared in a group of women with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Each intervention is done in a separate session. The order of interventions for each participant will be chosen randomly and by lottery at the beginning of each session, Blinding description: The data analyzer will not be aware of the group's classification. The information of the groups will be provided to the data analyzer in the form of numbers 1, 2, and 3, and for each participant with a code.</study_design>
