The study purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of a program combining biomechanical taping with lower extremity neuromuscular exercises for runners with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and hallux valgus
This will be a single-blind, experimental study with two treatment groups. A total of 30 college athletes with PFPS and hallux valgus and majoring in long distance running or soccer, or recreational runners in Taipei metropolitan area will be recruited. A set of clinical examination will be conducted to rule out abnormal knee structures, pathologies, or injuries apart from PFPS. The lower extremity alignment as well as hip and knee kinematics during a step down test will be tracked using Noraxon's myoMOTION system. Muscle activation of the muscles controlling the hip and knee movements during the step down test will be recorded using TELEmyo DTS of Noraxon. Hallux valgus angle will be measured with surface markers on photographs. Knee pain level will be rated in a visual analog scale. The investigators will analyze the data with Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) for Windows. Repeated-measure ANOVAs will be used to examine group-by-time interaction on all the outcome variables. All significance level will be set at 0.05.

Exclusion Criteria:
Biomechanical taping will first being applied to the participants of the combined training group. They will be asked to perform following exercises in this session afterwards. As the treatment session goes on, a set of foot intrinsic muscle strengthening exercise and lower extremity neuromuscular exercise will be provided.
Other: combined training
For participants of the proximal training group, only a set of lower extremity neuromuscular exercise will be provided. This set of exercises is designed to be the same as for participants of combined training group.
Other: Proximal training
The whole intervention period will last for 6 weeks, 2 visits per week, 1 hour per visit in the Research Building Room 630 of National Yang Ming University. All programs will be under the supervision of a physiotherapist with 2-year experience individually. 1. Hallux valgus correction: 1.1 Joint alignment correction (Grade II joint mobilization, 10 times/set, 3 sets/visit) - 1st MTP joint distraction - Proximal talofibular joint anteroposterior glide - (Grade III joint mobilization if any restriction being found) 1.2 Biomechanical taping (using Dynamic taping, 1 time/ visit, keep the taping for 2 days minimum) 1.3 Foot intrinsic muscle strengthening (10 times/set for each exercise, 3 sets/visit): - Short foot exercise - Toespread out exercise - Heel-rise exercises 2. Lower extremity neuromuscular exercises: (10-15 times/set, 3 sets/visit) 2.1 Single lunge 2.2 Stepping down 2.3 Vertical squat 2.4 Vertical jumping
Also known as: hallux valgus correction, lower extremity neuromuscular exercises
1. Lower extremity neuromuscular exercises: (10-15 times/set, 3 sets/visit) 1.1 Single lunge 1.2 Stepping down 1.3 Vertical squat 1.4 Vertical jumping All exercises will first start on firm surface without additional resistance/weight. Later, settings will be gradually shifted into on firm surface with resisted band from random direction, on a cushion with/ without resisted band, on a BOSU balance trainer. Progression are made every 2 weeks ideally, while adjustments may be taken into concern due to individual differences.

Ran from Jun 2018 to primary completion in Sep 2018, 3 months.
Of 153 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 20. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 157 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 21.
