Comparison of effects of open kinetic chain exercises with closed kinetic chain exercises on quadriceps strength and knee functional activity level after ACL reconstruction - a randomized controlled trial.

The Impact of Open Kinetic Chain Exercises and TRX Suspension Exercises on Shoulder Joint Proprioception in Overhead Athletes with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome : Randomized Controlled Trial

Purpose: Sub-acromial impingement syndrome [SIS] is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, which affects shoulder joint proprioception. Closed kinetic chain [CKC] exercises with a Sling are more effective and safer than open kinetic chain [OKC] exercises. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of OKC and Sling exercises [TRX] on shoulder sense position joints in overhead athletes w...

Effects of Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises on Proprioception and Functional Scores of the Knee after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of closed kinetic chain exercises performed by an unstable exercise group (UEG) and a stable exercise group (SEG) on the knee joint, proprioception, and functional scores of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. [Subjects] Twenty-eight patients participated in this study. The exclusion criteria were ...

Combined Open and Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises for Patellofemoral

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common ailment of the knee. Both open and closed kinetic chain exercises are effective in strengthening of the quadriceps muscle. It has been suggested that these exercises are used jointly in the management of PFPS, but no study to date has evaluated the effect of combined open and closed kinetic chain exercises on PFPS. The present randomized controlle...

The Effects of Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises and Open Kinetic Chain Exercises Using Elastic Bands on Electromyographic Activity in Degenerative Gonarthritis

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of closed kinetic chain exercises (CKCEs) and open kinetic chain exercises (OKCEs) with elastic bands on the electromyographic activity of patients with degenerative gonarthritis. [Subjects] The study subjects were 30 degenerative gonarthritis patients who were divided into a CKCE group (CKCEG, n=10), an OKCE group (OKCEG, n=10), an...
