ABSTRACT
Purpose:
This study was conducted to release the debate and examine the short-term impact of KT on the quadriceps muscle following arthroscopic surgery for partial meniscectomy. Patients andMethods:
As part of a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 40 people who had an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) were randomly put into two groups, A and B. Group A received Kinesio tape (KT) for the superficial heads of the quadriceps muscle, while group B received placebo KTk. After 10 minutes of KT application, the peak torque of both groups was measured using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer.Results:
Peak torque showed a significant increase in group A in comparison with group B during angular velocity 60â¦/Sec. (F (1, 130) = 58.9, p <0.001, Æ2 =0.31) and during angular velocity 180â¦/Sec. (F (1, 38) = 25.0, p <0.001, Æ2 =0.40).Conclusion:
After APM, individuals experienced an immediate and significant improvement in the quadriceps' peak torque following KT application to the Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, and Vastus lateralis muscles from origin to insertion.
