Introduction. The method of kinesio taping (Kenzo Kase, 1973) is actively gaining popularity among various medical specialists. This is due to the safety of the method and its proven effectiveness in certain pathological conditions and functional disorders. There are isolated publications showing the effectiveness of kinesio taping to reduce the manifestations of algomenorrhea.The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using the kinesio taping method for relieving pain in adolescent girls with functional algomenorrhea in a children′s rehabilitation hospital.Materials and methods. The material for the study was the results of observation of 38 girls aged 13 to 17 years, who were on inpatient treatment in the St. Petersburg Children′s rehabilitation center of orthopedics and traumatology «Ogonyok» and turned to the medical staff for help with painful mēnsēs in order to receive pharmacological correction (taking antispasmodics and/or NSAIDs), as well as with a request to change the rehabilitation program (cancellation of physical therapy or physiotherapy procedures for the period of pain). Based on the experience of Seyda Toprak Celenay and María Isabel Tomás-Rodríguez, in order to influence the severity of algomenorrhea syndrome in patients, kinesio taping of the suprapubic region was performed with a 5 cm wide cotton tape with a light tension in the range of 10–15 %. The intensity of the pain syndrome before and after kinesio taping was evaluated by the patient himself using a modified facial pain Scale [The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) according to Von Baeyer C. L. et al., 2001], and an instrumental assessment of the intensity of pain sensations was additionally performed using a dynamometer-algometer «MEGEON 04300».Results. The method of kinesio taping allows you to exclude (in 58 % of patients) or reduce (in 16% of patients) the use of pharmacological drugs. The inverse relationship between the subjective assessment of the intensity of pain syndrome by patients and the reduction of pain syndrome was established: that is, the greater the intensity of pain, the less likely the analgesic effect from the use of kinesio tape. The decrease in the pain syndrome of the girls was noted in the period of 1–12 hours (on average 3 hours 51 minutes) from the moment of applying the kinesio tape. Unfortunately, in the remaining 26 % of cases, the kinesiotaping method was not effective.Conclusion. The kinesiotaping method is justified for use in patients with algomenorrhea and often allows you to exclude or reduce the intake of pharmacological drugs.

Objective To investigate the effects of exercise training alone and in combination with kinesio taping on pain, functionality, and circulating cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and -3 at rest and immediately after walking exercise in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design A total of 22 female patients diagnosed with knee OA were randomly divided into the exercise training (ET) or exercise training plus kinesio taping (ET + KT) groups. The patients in the ET performed exercise training for 6 weeks. The patients in the ET + KT group were applied with kinesio tape in addition to the exercise training for 6 weeks. In both groups, 20 minutes of walking exercise were performed before and after the interventions. The pain and functional status of the patients were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario McMasters Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before and after the intervention at rest, respectively. Blood samples were taken at rest and immediately after the walking exercise before and after the interventions for the analysis of COMP, MMP-1, and MMP-3 levels. Results In both groups, pain and functionality scores were significantly improved after the interventions ( P < 0.05). COMP, MMP-1 and MMP-3 levels were higher immediately after walking exercise when compared with rest in both groups before and after the intervention ( P < 0.05). Conclusions Exercise training and exercise training plus kinesio taping improved pain and physical function; however, the COMP, MMP-1, and MMP-3 levels did not change.

Abstract This study aimed to compare quadriceps strength, muscle reaction time, and patient-reported outcomes in PFPS patients with abnormal patellar tracking with and without kinesio taping. Twenty patients with PFPS who applied kinesio taping and 19 who did not were included. Muscle strength and reaction time (acceleration time; AT) were evaluated using an isokinetic device. Patient-reported outcomes were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Kujala anterior knee pain scale (AKPS). Conservative therapeutic exercises were performed in both groups. In each group, all parameters (quadriceps strength: p < 0.001, quadriceps AT: p < 0.001, patient-reported outcomes, including VAS: p < 0.001, AKPS: p < 0.001 for taping group; quadriceps strength: p < 0.001, quadriceps AT: p < 0.001, patient-reported outcomes, including VAS: p < 0.001, AKPS: p < 0.001 for non-taping group), improved after intervention in the symptomatic knees. However, there were no significant differences in quadriceps strength and AT, and patient-reported outcomes in the symptomatic knees between the groups with and without kinesio taping (all p > 0.05). In patients with PFPS with abnormal patellar tracking, the present study shows that kinesio taping seems to be ineffective for quadriceps strength and muscle reaction time, and patient-reported outcomes. Further studies are needed to clarify the effects of kinesio taping without conservative therapeutic exercise in PFPS patients with abnormal patellar tracking.

Background. Hardware examinations are the key to standardizing the assessment of the patient’s condition, they reduce the doctor’s error, make it possible to obtain digital material, which can be used to determine the functional ability of the patient. One of such studies is the GAITRite system, the purpose of which is to assess the parameters of a person’s walking. The study was aimed to determine the basic parameters of walking in patients with gonarthrosis before and after the endoprosthesis. Materials and methods. There were examined 23 patients with gonarthrosis after unilateral endoprosthesis. The studies carried out concern the analysis of temporal, geometric parameters of walking, as well as the assessment of the functional ability of patients with degenerative diseases of the hip joint before treatment and one year after arthroplasty. Results. Before treatment for knee arthrosis, patients experience a violation of walking in the form of asymmetry of steps. There is a decrease in the time of support on the foot of the impaired limb and, therefore, an increase in the time of transfer of the foot of this limb. Changes in the impaired limb are reflected in the opposite one. After surgery, the changes in the parameters of walking in patients were as follows: an increase in the time of support on the prosthetic limb, and, therefore, a decrease in the time of support on the foot of the opposite limb that manifested in an increase in the symmetry of the parameters of steps. Reduction of pain syndrome and restoration of limb support ability increase the indicator of gait functionality. Osteoarthritis is a systemic disease and develops more often in both knee joints, and other structures of the skeleton are often involved in the degenerative process. Therefore, in elderly patients, FAP after arthroplasty reaches only satisfactory values. We examined patients after endoprosthesis on one knee joint, and this does not always give the expected good result immediately. Conclusions. Instrumental methods of studying patients’ gait make it possible to determine the degree of impairment of dynamics. Knee arthroplasty eliminates pain and restores limb resistance, which improves gait. This method of assessing walking allows determining the degree of recovery of patients and to adjust the need for further methods of correcting walking or a plan for further treatment.

Abstract. The purpose of the work is to develop and substantiate a technique for physical rehabilitation in knee arthrosis. We assumed that the technique we developed will contribute to the speedy restoration of knee joint functions, the removal of pain syndrome and an increase in the physical activity of patients. Of greatest importance in kinesitherapy is the determination of women's motor capabilities, abilities for household and labor skills, for which muscle testing on multifunctional simulators is used. For subjective assessment of pain, we proposed a verbal descriptive scale. This method is designed to determine the intensity of pain and allows you to evaluate the subjective pain sensations that the patient experiences at the time of the study. Hydroxynesitherapy is in the physical rehabilitation program. When performing gymnastics in water, different depth of immersion is used, dynamic exercises, exercises with elastic (rubber) bandage, rubber espanders, shovels (to increase rowing resistance), flippers and special cuffs on knee joints are used. Duration of classes 15–20 min 2–3 times a week, course 30–45 days and subsequent application of teips. The rehabilitation included treatment baths, which women conducted independently at home. When conducting kinesitherapeutic measures, we took into account the patient's complaints, we carried out medical supervision, control of heart rate and blood pressure. We presented the results of the study of influence of the proposed technique on morphofunctional state of women 45–50 years old. We noted positive dynamics of influence of kinesitherapy on motor functions of knee joint.

Introduction. To date there is a lack of studies dedicated to the objectification of the palpation data obtained by a specialist during the osteopathic examination. The issue of the evidence of the results of osteopathic correction still remains important. Search for instrumental methods allowing to register and to measure various palpation phenomena and manifestations of somatic dysfunctions is very relevant for the development of osteopathy as a science. It is also very important to find objective characteristics of these methods.Goal of research — to study viscoelastic characteristics of the soft tissues of the lower legs by palpation and instrumental methods before and after osteopathic correction.Materials and methods. 22 volunteers (12 women and 10 men) aged 18–23 years without complaints of the musculoskeletal system were examined. Osteopathic diagnostics and measurement of the viscoelastic properties of muscles were carried out by the method of vibration viscoelastometry before and after osteopathic correction.Results. Correlation analysis by Spearman showed that the subjective assessment of an osteopath positively correlated with both elasticity (r=0,43, p<0,05) and viscosity of soft issues (r=0,29, p<0,05). For the gastrocnemius muscle, this pattern was even more pronounced — for elasticity r=0,51, p<0,05, for viscosity =0,34, p<0,05. After osteopathic correction no changes in the elasticity of the soft tissues were observed. The viscosity of the tissues reduced, but in the projection of the gastrocnemius muscle, these changes were not statistically significant (p=0,12), whereas in the projection of the soleus muscle statistically significant changes (p=0,034) were observed.Conclusion. Changes in the viscoelastic properties of tissues demonstrated that the effects of osteopathic correction with the use of myofascial mobilization techniques, articulation mobilization techniques, and lymphatic drainage techniques were not obvious. The elasticity of soft tissues of the lower legs did not change, while the viscosity decreased, especially in the projection of the soleus muscles. This effect of the osteopathic correction can be associated with the effect of thixotropy — the transformation of gel-like intercellular substance into sol. Thus, the research showed that vibration viscoelastometry can be used for the objectifi cation of the condition of soft tissues and of the effects of osteopathic correction.
