Acute Effect of Kinesiological Taping on Pain, Quality of Life and Musculoskeletal System Parameters in Individuals With Meniscus Injury: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Kinesiology taping and Placebo taping for Meniscus Tears. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to explore how kinesiology taping affects people with mild to moderate meniscus injuries (grades I/II), focusing on pain, movement fears, muscle strength, balance, joint movement, and quality of life. Two groups will be involved: one will receive kinesiology taping on the thigh muscle with some tension, while the other will receive a placebo tape with no tension. Researchers will measure various factors, including pain and muscle strength, both before and 48-72 hours after taping.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
'Y shaped' kinesiology taping was applied on quadriceps femoris muscle, based on facilitation technique with 25-50% stretching.
A tape without tension was applied perpendicular on the quadriceps femoris muscle.
