Effects of Elastic Therapeutic Tape on Biomechanical Changes of Knee Joint During Drop Vertical Jump in ACL Injuries
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Kinesio tape and Control tape for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury. Completed, enrolled 8 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study to investigate joint angle and joint moment in flexion-extension, adduction-abduction and internal -external rotation of elastic therapeutic tape and elastic therapeutic tape are effective in ACL-injuries subjects during drop vertical jump.This study requires ACL-injuries participants age range between 18 and 45 years old. The 3D motion analysis system (BTS, ITALY) and force plate (Kistler, USA) will be used for measure joint angle and joint moment during drop vertical jump movement.

Interventions
Elastic therapeutic tape is one type of elastic tape that is widely used for various treatment including rehabilitation and sports injuries . The elastic therapeutic tape has different characteristics from other kind of tape. It has ability to stretch around 130 - 140% from original length and recoil back to starting length after applying the tape. Tape produces pulling force on skin which lifts and folds layers of epidermis . Pulling force provides an appropriate alignment which can facilitate and inhibit muscle contraction.It has been claimed for several benefits such as supportingly injured muscles, increased proprioception, stimulated and inhibited muscle activity, relieved pain, increased range of motion, and improved blood and lymph flow.
Apply tape in same technique without tension.
