About this study
Official title: Influence of Kinesio Tapping on Quadriceps Muscle Peak Torque and Bioelectrical Activity After Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy (RTC)
A Pretest post-test control group design will be used to investigate the effect of kinesio taping on electrical activity and peak torque of the quadriceps femoris muscle during concentric and eccentric contraction after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) surgery.
Read the detailed description
Fifty patients after APM of any knee of both sexes will participate in this study after signing a written informed consent form approved.
from the ethical committee of Jazan University. They are selected according to the following Inclusion criteria:
- All performed APM only without any other knee injury.
- Finished the period of hospital stay (6-8 weeks)
- Their age ranged from 20-40.
- Their Body mass index ranged from 20-24.9 kg/m². 2- The subjects will be excluded from the study if they had one of th e following exclusion criteria: a- Knee or quadriceps disorders preventing physical stress. b- Subjects with cardiovascular or neurological problems. c- Smokers. d- Heavy caffeine intake subjects. 3- The subjects will be randomly assigned into two groups of equal numbers. Group A (Study) consisted of 66 subjects who will receive kinesio-taping from origin to insertion on the superficial muscles of the Quadriceps femoris (QF) (Vastus Medialis (VM), Vastus Lateralis (VL), Rectus Femoris (RF)). - Group B (Control) consisted of 66 subjects who will receive a placebo kinesio-taping across quadriceps. Anthropometric measures including "weight and height" and body. mass index (BMI) will be measured for all subjects in the first meeting before starting the evaluative procedures. All subjects were asked to shave the hair of their thigh before starting the evaluative procedure using blades, which was essential to prevent artifact during EMG evaluation and to facilitate the adherence of the tape to the skin. Bioelectrical activity and peak torque of quadriceps muscle of the lower extremity that had APM will be measured. The evaluation will be carried out before tapping, and then after the application of tapping for 10 minutes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Peak muscle torque
Peak torque of the quadriceps femoris muscle during concentric and eccentric contraction after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) surgery using Biodex system
Measured: 1. Baseline: before tapping 2. after10 minutes of Cura kinesio-taping.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Peak muscle torque (time frame: 1. Baseline: before tapping 2. after10 minutes of Cura kinesio-taping.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2023.
