[Purpose] The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of spiral taping on proprioception in functional ankle instability. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-five participants in this study had discomfort in only one ankle and Cumberland ankle instability score of ≤23. ST was applied to the unstable ankle, and proprioception was measured baseline and 30 min later. Proprioception was meas...

This article presents a case of a large inferior patellar osteophyte, which developed after patellar tendon autograft anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This extensive osteophyte formed a neo-articulation with the tibial plateau and contributed to arthrofibrosis, patellar baja, and patellar pain. This is an extremely unusual complication following patellar tendon harvesting for AC...

Among patients that underwent total knee arthroplasty from June, 1990 to January, 1999, 61 cases (44 patients) that could be followed for more than 10 years were included in this study. The patients were divided into a patellar retention group and a patellar resurfacing group, and were compared with regard to their clinical and radiological outcomes. In patients undergoing primary TKA, a select...

There are several AD tools available, which all implement different strategies for the reverse mode of AD. The major strategies are primal value taping (implemented e.g. by ADOL-c) and Jacobi taping (implemented e.g. by adept and dco/c++). Especially for Jacobi taping, recent advances by using expression templates make this approach very attractive for large scale software. The current implemen...

This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesiology taping (KT) and different TRX suspension workouts on the amplitude of electromyographic (EMG) activity in the core muscles among people with chronic low back pain (LBP). Each participant (total n = 21) was exposed to two KT conditions: no taping and taping, while performing four TRX suspension exercises: (1) hamstring curl, (2) hip abductio...
