Summary

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are the most common traumatic knee ligament injuries. This lesion has a devastating influence on patients' activity levels and quality of life. ACL injuries are most frequent between the ages of 15 and 45 years. Individuals who choose conservative treatment must undergo physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the knee, notably the quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles. It had been described that in absence of surgical treatment, the knee remains unstable and vulnerable to injury having a much poorer prognosis. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of neuromuscular taping (kinesiotape) compared to placebo in patients with non-operated anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
