简要总结
Thirty-two participants with ACL rupture were included in the study. All participants were divided in two groups - control and experimental. In the experimental group (n=16) participants received 4 weeks standardized physiotherapy and Kinesio tape, in the control group - standardized physiotherapy.
Experimental measurements: Anthropometric measurements, pain intensity, static and dynamic balance, proprioception, knee flexion and extension muscle torque, level of activity

入选标准
- •18 - 35-year-old men;
- •a normal contralateral knee,
- •not a longer period than 3 months after ACL rupture.
排除标准
- •Participants were excluded if either knee had previously been injured or had undergone surgery, if they had concurrent osteoarthritis, if they had injured the posterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament, or posterolateral complex of the knee, or if they had a grade III tear of the medial collateral ligament.
研究组 & 干预措施
Control group - standardized physiotherapy program
The standardized physiotherapy program was designed on the basis of S. van Grinsven et al.'s (2010) rehabilitation protocol - was applied 4 weeks, 3 times per week, the duration of the procedure was 60 minutes.
Experimental group - standardized physiotherapy program and Kinesio tape
The standardized physiotherapy program was designed on the basis of S. van Grinsven et al.'s (2010) rehabilitation protocol - was applied 4 weeks, 3 times per week, the duration of the procedure was 60 minutes. The Kinesio tape (KT) technique was chosen on the basis of K. Kase et al.'s (2003) recommendations. KT (Japan) was applied to the injured leg using muscular and functional-corrective techniques on the quadriceps femoris and the hamstring muscle. There were 6 KT procedures per participant in the experimental group. The CON group received KT only during the baseline and final assessment to assess short-term effect of KT.

结局指标
主要结局
Static and dynamic balance
时间窗: 4 weeks
Static and dynamic balance were measured by posturography method with a single piezoelectric force plate (KISTLER, Switzerland, Slimline System 9286) was used to measure postural sway activity.
Joint position sense test
时间窗: 4 weeks
Joint position sense test was used to measure proprioceptive accuracy. Joint position sense for both legs was assessed for all subjects using the Biodex System Isokinetic Dynamometer 3 (Biodex Medical System Inc., Shirley, NY, USA).Subjects actively extended the knee from the resting position (90°flexion) to one of two test positions: 80° or 40° flexion at 0,5°/s velocity. Subjects were instructed to actively reproduce this criterion angle and to stop knee motion, via a thumb switch. No feedback was provided.
Muscle torque
时间窗: 4 weeks
The isometric and concentric torque of the knee extensor and flexor muscles of the non-injured and injured legs was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer (System 3; Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, New York).
次要结局
- The Lysholm scale(4 weeks)
- VAS scale(4 weeks)
- The Tegner scale(4 weeks)
