the pain and associated symptoms arises when effusion in the infrapatellar region lift the fat pad up due to the density difference.this come into contact with the highly innervated and sensitive synovial membrane.
so to relieve the symptoms there should be minimising of contact between the fat pad and synovial membrane.
so the treatment plan include
taping technique
management directed to reduce effusion
activity modification
avoiding of position which causes excess contact of fat pad with synovium
