Conditions

Anterior cruciate Ligament Injury ( ACL Injury). Sprain of anterior cruciate ligament of right knee, initial encounter

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: Kinesio tape with 25 to 30% tension is applied to the muscle to facilitate Vastus medialis muscle. Also, the tip is applied with 50 to 75% tension for mechanical co

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: History of knee surgery, previous ACL injury, concomitant ligament injury, fracture, knee joint effusion, more than 6 months after injury (to prevent destructive effects of the knee), tip sensitivity, pathological gate, pathology of the hip and ankle joints A history of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems Osteoporosis (2 / 5-> T-Score) Use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs from the beginning of the assessment as well as at the time of participation in the study People's unwillingness to participate and continue treatment for any reason Women Men under the age of 25 or over 45 Body mass index below 25 and above 30 Pain based on VAS below 4 and above 6 Bilateral injury of the anterior cruciate ligament or in the non-dominant leg or left leg Acute anterior cruciate ligament injury or less than 2 months after injury Has done physiotherapy in the last 3 months Applied since the kinesio tape injury Anterior cruciate ligament injury not confirmed by MRI Has no report of giving way or has more than 5 reports Ability to return to activity before injury Pivot Shift, Anterior Drawer, Lachman tests not positive Quadriceps muscle strength then, hamstring, gluteus maximus and medius, anterior tibialis less than -4 Internal, External Rot and Extension are not painful or weak resistance The laxity difference between the involved and healthy sides is less than 3 or more than 8 mm

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The amount of pain they feel in the knee. Timepoint: The patient's pain will be measured before the kinesio tape is applied and 30 minutes after the application. Method of measurement: Pain is measured on the Visual Analogue Scale, a ruler numbered from 0 to 10. The number 0 indicates a painless condition and the number 10 is the most severe pain imaginable for the patient.;Muscle activity of Vastus medialis and semi tendinosus. Timepoint: The activity of the vastus medialis and semi tendinosus muscles of the patient is measured before applying the kinesio tape and throughout the patient evaluation. Method of measurement: Measurement of muscle activity is measured by an electromyographic device.;Squat test and sit to stand test performance balance indicators. Timepoint: Before applying the kinesio t?pe and 30 minutes after applying the tip, we ask the patient to do a squat test and sit-and-take test, and functional balance indices are measured before and after applying the tip. Method of measurement: Performance equilibrium indices are measured by March software and force plate.
