Summary

This study aims to explore how kinesiology taping affects people with mild to moderate meniscus injuries (grades I/II), focusing on pain, movement fears, muscle strength, balance, joint movement, and quality of life.

Two groups will be involved: one will receive kinesiology taping on the thigh muscle with some tension, while the other will receive a placebo tape with no tension. Researchers will measure various factors, including pain and muscle strength, both before and 48-72 hours after taping.

Conditions

  • Meniscus Tears

OTHER

Kinesiology taping

'Y shaped' kinesiology taping was applied on quadriceps femoris muscle, based on facilitation technique with 25-50% stretching.
