Introduction: The Kinesio Taping® is an elastic functional tape with specific characteristics that, when applied on or around muscles, aims to assist and functionally support them. Its effect on proprioception, a component of the somatosensory system, is still poorly understood. Objective: To assess the immediate effects of the application of KinesioTaping®(KT) on knee joint position sense (JPS) of healthy subjects. Method: This is a controlled, randomized-blinded clinical trial. Sixty females volunteers (age: 23.3 ± 2.5 years, BMI: 22.2 ± 2.1 kg/m2) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 20 members each, and they performed one of three protocols: control - 10 minutes of resting; nonelastic adhesive tape - application over the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM) muscles; and KT - application of KT over the same muscles. All were subjected to knee JPS evaluation on an isokinetic dynamometer, in which the analyzed variable was the absolute error, before and after interventions. Results: There were no significant changes in knee JPS in the assessed groups, using absolute error (control group p=0,14; nonelastic adhesive tape group p=0,32; KT group p=0,91). Conclusion: The application of KT on the RF, VL and VM muscles was not able to significantly improve the knee JPS of healthy women.

Assessment and enhancement of joint position sense is an inexact science at best. Anew method of evaluating and improving this sense using motion-tracking technology that incorporates computer visualization graphics was examined. Injured and healthy subjects were evaluated for their abilities to determine shoulder joint position, after abduction, in two tasks. The first was active reproduction of a passively placed angle. The second was visual reproduction of such an angle. A training protocol was added to determine the effectiveness of proprioceptive training in conjunction with 3-D visualization techniques. The primary findings were (a) a significant difference (p= .05) in the level of joint position sense in injured vs. healthy subjects; (b) significantly less accurate reproduction of larger shoulder abduction vs. the smaller movement in the active reproduction task; (c) significantly greater ability to accurately reproduce angles actively vs. visually; and (d) that proprioception training using 3-D visualization techniques significantly increased activeandvisual reproductions of passively placed angles.

Introduction Proprioceptive assessments of the wrist inform clinical decision making. In wrist rehabilitation, joint position sense has emerged as one way of assessing conscious proprioception with varying methods and minimal psychometric analysis reported. The purpose of this study was to standardise the wrist joint position sense test method for clinical use and to determine its test–retest reliability in a healthy population. Methods Four wrist positions (20° and 45° flexion, 20° and 45° extension) were measured twice in a random order, by a single rater, using a universal goniometer on the same day. The absolute error in degrees between each position and reposition was calculated. For relative reliability analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficient (3,1) was calculated. For absolute reliability the standard error of the measurement was calculated and Bland–Altman plots visually inspected. Results Fifty-five healthy volunteers (mean age 31.1 SD±10.25 years) were assessed. The mean absolute error, summarised for all positions for test and retest, was 3.98°. The intraclass correlation coefficients were poor to fair (0.07–0.47), and standard error of the measurement was 2° (rounded) for all positions. The limits of agreement were fairly narrow, and the Bland–Altman plots showed random distribution of errors for each position, therefore the measurement error was clinically acceptable. Conclusions The active wrist joint position sense test using goniometry demonstrated poor to fair test–retest reliability and acceptable measurement error in healthy volunteers. The wrist joint position sense angle of 20° flexion was the most reliable.
