- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Postural Sway. Timepoint: Before intervention, Immediately after internention, 48 hours after intervention. Method of measurement: Force Platform Device.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Disability. Timepoint: Before and two days after intervention. Method of measurement: IKDC.;Intervention group: A 5-cm-wide Kinesiotape (Ares, Korea) will be used in treatments. Few hours after shaving the area of the skin to be taped, Y-shaped tapes will be applied in origin-insertion direction to facilitate the muscles. While the patient is lying on lateral position, the tape will be placed on the rectus femoris muscle with a tension of 25–30% bringing the hip to extension and the knee to 30-35° of flexion and the tape will be placed on the hamstring muscle with a tension of 40–50% by bringing the hip to flexion and the knee to extension. A corrective kinesiotaping with a tension of 100% will be attached on anterior surface of tibia on 30 degrees of flexion and pull the tibia into backward in relation to the femur. Timepoint: Before and two days after intervention. Method of measurement: IKDC.
