Functional Taping for Musculoskeletal Injuries (FTMI)
The following patella taping technique is designed to support the patella, correct abnormal patella alignment (lateral tracking) and reduce stress on the knee during activity. It can be used for both the treatment and prevention of knee injuries, particularly those associated with abnormal patella tracking such as patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee), patella instability and patella dislocation. It may also assist with improving the activation of the VMO muscle
