Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Patellar taping for the purpose of patellar medialization is a nonoperative rehabilitation technique used in the treatment of patellofemoral pain. Despite early reports of excellent success rates, the indications for this treatment and its efficacy on patellofemoral pain are unclear. The present computed tomography study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of patellar taping on patellofemoral incongruence. Sixteen female patients (age range, 16 to 25 years) with anterior knee pain related to patellofemoral incongruence underwent computed tomography examination with their quadriceps muscles relaxed and contracted both before and after patellar taping. Patellar lateralization was measured as lateral patellar displacement, and patellar tilt was measured as lateral patellar angle. Patellar taping did not significantly affect patellofemoral lateralization or tilt. The results of this study do not support the use of this method for passive correction of patellofemoral incongruence. Although patellar taping may well be effective in controlling anterior knee pain during physical therapy, it does not do so by medializing the patella.
