Abstract

Objective: To investigate the early effect of Kinesio taping combined with rehabilitation training on patients with anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under arthroscopy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 40 patients (40 knees) who underwent arthroscopic anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology from May 2013 to April 2023, including 28 males and 12 females, aged 18-50 years, with an average age of 32.5 years; the time from injury to treatment was 1-12 days, with an average of 5.9 days, and the time from injury to operation was 8-21 days, with an average of 15.1 days; among them, 20 patients receiving traditional rehabilitation were defined as the control group, and 20 patients receiving traditional rehabilitation+Kinesio taping were defined as the experimental group. The pain degree of the affected limbs of the two groups was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before operation and 5 days, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after operation. The swelling degree of the knee joint of the two groups was evaluated by the difference between the circumference of 5 cm above the patella of the affected limb and the circumference of the same position on the healthy side. Lysholm score was used to evaluate the recovery of knee joint function after operation. Berg scale was used to evaluate the recovery of limb balance ability in the two groups. The recovery of proprioception of the affected limbs of the two groups was evaluated by active flexion position recurrence method. Results: All 40 patients were followed up after operation. The VAS score of the affected limb in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group at 2 weeks after operation (P<0.05), the improvement of swelling degree was better than that in the control group at 4 weeks after operation (P<0.01), the Lysholm score was gradually higher than that in the control group at 4 weeks after operation (P<0.05), the Berg score was better than that in the control group at 6 weeks after operation (P<0.01), and the recovery of proprioception of the affected limb was better than that in the control group at 8 weeks after operation (P<0.05). Conclusion: Kinesio taping can effectively relieve early limb pain and swelling in patients with anterior and posterior cruciate ligament rupture after arthroscopic reconstruction, promote the recovery of knee joint balance and proprioception, and improve knee joint function.
