Both groups included in inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both groups are experiencing knee pain and decrease knee function and Range of motion. Diagnosed both groups with the help of Kujula score and Goniometer, and assess level of pain through Visual analogue scale.
Main outcome variables
Visual analogue scale (for measuring Pain) it consist of 1 to 10 numbers.
Kujula Score (for knee pain and Function) have several questions to ask from patients
Goniometer (for Range of motion)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Purposive Sampling Technique will be used.
Simple and individual method of Randomization.
Randomization tools include randomly allocate patients in 2 groups
(Group 1 with Intervention one, which is Weight bearing with Kinesio Taping)
(Group 2 with Intervention two, which is Weight bearing Exercises)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Patients are blinded in our study because we give intervention to PFPS patients with two different treatment's so we blind our patients to check better outcomes of combined approach or single approach. we blind assessor and data analyzer to prevent from biasness in study.
Placebo
Not used
Assignment
Single
Other design features
It is Randomized Control Trails in Which We Give Intervention To Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Patients By Giving 2 Types of Treatment.
