Objectives : To evaluate the effect of KinesioTaping on knee joint proprioception of patient withreconstructed anterior cruciate ligament.Methods: Randomized trial, cross-­over study design, was done in Rehabilitation outpatient clinic, Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, on 9 isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) patients, which hasunderwent ACL reconstruction procedure. Each patient will become control for themselves. Subjects were treated with standardized Kinesio Taping technique for anterior cruciate ligament injury in additionto standard rehabilitation program for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Response to treatment was evaluated with two evaluations: 1) Joint position sense of the knee for predetermined angle (30°,45° and 60°) 2) Threshold to detect of passive knee motion on 90° moving into extension. Measurements were taken two times within 3 days of interval, with and without Kinesio Taping application. Errorof angular displacement of active angle reproduction (joint position sense) and threshold to detect of passive motion (TTDPM) were measured in three condition: before Kinesio Taping application, afterKinesio Taping application and without Kinesio Taping application. Results : Nine patients (mean age 20.33 ± 4.062 y) who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were included for this study. There were no other knee ligament injuries.There were significant different in active angle reproduction (joint position sense) at 30° and 45° extension between affected and unaffected knee (p = .030 and p= .15 respectively). Kinesio Taping application showed significant effect in active angle reproduction at 30° of knee extension (p=0.028). There were no significant different in TTDPM between all condition. Conclusions: Kinesio Taping application improves active angle reproduction (joint position sense) at 30° of knee extension. There is no difference in joint position sense at 45° and 60° with Kinesio Tapingapplication. There is no difference in TTDPM in all condition.Keywords: Kinesio Taping, rehabilitation, knee joint proprioception, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Abstract Background : This study aimed to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping on Kinesiophobia (fear of re-injury), balance and functional performance in athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 20 athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (mean age 32.35 ± 6.25 years) at the time of return to sport. The participants were selected using purposive sampling approach and they were randomly assigned to kinesio tape group (n=10) or placebo kinesio tape group (n=10). While subjects under taped, the following outcomes were measured at baseline, ten minutes after the intervention, and two days later. Kinesiophobia, balance, strength, functional / agility performance was assessed by Tampa Scale, Y balance test (YBT), single leg hops and 10-yard extremity functional test, respectively. Data were analyzed using the repeated measure analysis of variance (RMANOVA) in the SPSS v.23. Results: Two days after Kinesio taping, the difference between the scores obtained in the first and the second measurements for all variables in the kinesio tape group was not significantly different rather than placebo kinesio tape group (all P> 0.05). The difference between scores of the third and the first measurements of all variables was also not significantly different in the kinesio tape group compared to the placebo kinesio tape group (all P> 0.05). In the kinesio tape and placebo kinesio tape groups, RMANOVA indicated that the differences in all variables scores were significant over time (P < 0.001), Sidak post-hoc test indicated that the differences between the first and the second measurements, as well as between the first and the third measurements were significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study gives no support for any beneficial effect of kinesio taping on reduction of kinesiophobi or improvement of balance score and functional performance in athletes with post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Trial registration: This study was registered in the Iranian Clinical Trial Center with the code IRCT20190130042556N1, https://www.irct.ir/trial/37312, registered 12 February 2019.
