Differences between protocol and review

We clarified that our intention was to compare tape versus no or placebo tape and thus we excluded studies that compared patellar taping with another intervention (such as exercises) or that compared composite interventions, that included patellar taping, with no intervention or different interventions.

In the protocol under the title 'Timepoints considered', we stated that we would consider studies that analysed the effect of patellar taping immediately post application. We have removed this and have only considered patellar taping when it was used as part of a treatment programme for a sustained period. We have also removed 'change of range of motion' as one of the 'Types of outcome measures'.

In accordance with the latest Cochrane recommendations, we have completely replaced the quality assessment tool with the 'Risk of bias' tool.
