Observation On The Effect Of Kinesio Taping On Early Rehabilitation Of Athletes After ACL Reconstruction

Objective: Due to the feature of high intensity,high resistance and high speed,the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)injury is more common in the team sport,such as basketball,volleyball and football.In the early stage after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,most athletes' prolonged joint swelling can not be improved in time.This issue delays the athletes' rehabilitation progress,which makes it difficult for the athletes to recover to their pre injury level.At present,the specific plans and methods of domestic rehabilitation for athletes in early stage after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are relatively backward,and there is no effective solution to the problem of athletes' joint swelling after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Through the tracking analysis of 10 active athletes who receive the early-stage rehabilitation training afteranterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,the study will explore whether Kinesio Taping can be used to intervene in early stage after reconstruction for the athletes,which makes athletes get over the swelling period as soon as possible in the early stage after the reconstruction,and run into the next section of the rehabilitation plan as soon as possible.As a result,this study will discuss about whether this way can shorten the recovery period to help the injured return to the court from injury as soon as possible.Method: Based on the research subject that is the rehabilitation effect of early-stage rehabilitation training and Kinesio Taping for the basketball,volleyball and football athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,the study will select the 10 athletes as experimental subjects,whose knee-joint is swelling in the early stage after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction that is autogenous hamstring tendon for double bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.The 10 subjects will be divided into groups and receive the 8-week rehabilitation training and tracking study.The 10 athletes all above will start the systemic rehabilitation training 3 days after reconstruction and they will be tracking recorded and analyzed in different groups with rehabilitation data.By comparison of the differences among the groups,the study will analyze and summarize the rehabilitation effect of Kinesio Taping in early stage afteranterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for the basketball,volleyball and football athletes.Results: After 6 weeks of rehabilitation training,these 10 basketball,volleyball and football athletes' symptoms of swelling on the affected side have been eliminated,the subjective pain was greatly reduced,thesituation of muscular atrophy,balanced capacity and proprioceptive sense were improved,and PROM of knee joint increased significantly.Based on the comparison among the groups,the symptom of swelling has been basically eliminated in the group that applies Kinesio Taping 3-5 weeks after reconstruction,ahead of the traditional rehabilitation group;the assessment of subjective pain,PROM of knee joint,muscle atrophy,balance and proprioception is better than the traditional rehabilitation group at the same period in recovery effect.Conclusion: Whether the experimental subjects were applied Kinesio Taping or not,the subjects could achieve rehabilitation goals in the corresponding plan of rehabilitation period after the rehabilitation training which is strictly in accordance with rehabilitationplan and process in the early stage after reconstruction.However,the proper use of Kinesio taping in the early age rehabilitation training after the reconstruction provides a more rapid recovery of subjects' knee joint motion function,shortens the recovery period,which can help the subjects to get rid of the injury as soon as possible and return to the competition.
