Patellar taping affects vastus medialis obliquus activation in subjects with patellofemoral pain before and after quadriceps muscle fatigue.
To investigate the effects of patellar taping on the electromyographic onset of vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis, and their magnitudes of reflex contraction before and after quadriceps muscle fatigue in subjects with patellofemoral pain. ⋯ The present study suggests that patellar taping might not enhance the temporal activation of vastus medialis obliquus in subjects with patellofemoral pain before and after muscle fatigue. Furthermore, vastus medialis obliquus contraction might be inhibited by patellar taping.

To investigate the incidence of reference errors in major peer-reviewed general physical therapy and rehabilitation journals (American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AJPMR), Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (APMR), Clinical Rehabilitation (CR) and Physical Therapy (PT)). ⋯ Errors in references still appear in current physical therapy and rehabilitation literature, but most are not severe.
