To study effects of kinesiotaping in shuttlecock players on pain and functional outcome after ACL reconstruction
90 patients (40 in each group),
Interventional Study
A 1950 bedded tertiary care teaching hospital with well equipped medical and surgical intensive care unit and musculoskeletal department,
90 patients were randomly selected and assigned in 2 groups, as Group 1(control group), Group 2 (Interventional group) in equal numbers The total subjects of 90 were included in the study the inclusion & exclusion criteria were
Age: 14–20 years,Sex: Male and Female both, Only Shuttle cock players, Players who have undergone ACL Reconstruction.
Age: below 14 and above 20 years, Other than Shuttle cock players, Reconstruction of other Ligaments, Other surgeries over knee.
There has been significant decrease (p<0.05) of mean knee varus angle peak in both functional activities, especially during squat (pre-KT: 198.2±1.30; post-KT:189.6±0.55). There has also been VAS decrease during both activities up/down step (pre-KT: 4; post-KT: 0) and squat (pre-KT: 3; post-KT: 0)
Neither KT® nor athletic tape had a statistically significant effect on performance on the hopping test, the single limb hurdle, dynamic balance, and SEBT tests. However, athletic taping caused a significant decrease in performance in vertical jump and standing heel rise tests while KT® did not limit functional performance. This study offers information that may stimulate new design of ankle taping methods by using different materials and further research may help to reduce uncertainty of the effects of various types of ankle taping on functional performance.
