Notes
- Abstract:
- The aim of this study was to assess the acute effects of hip elastic taping on knee kinetic and kinematic variables in participants with anterior knee pain (AKP). Fourteen women with AKP participated in the study. All participants performed both elastic taping and no taping conditions. They were screened with a questionnaire for prior injuries, surgeries, pain level, and experience with elastic taping. Participants were then screened during the single-leg squat (SLS) task. Inclusion criteria for further testing included a 10% increase in knee valgus and 10% increase in hip adduction when compared to the non-affected leg. Knee frontal plane motion, knee frontal plane moments, mean vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), and AKP were used as the main outcome measures. Among all outcome parameters significant differences were found in knee frontal plane motion and knee frontal plane moment. No significant differences were found in vGRF and pain. Therefore, elastic taping on the hip shows to be an effective treatment in reducing frontal plane kinematics and kinetics in patients with AKP.
