Abstract
Goal: to judge the effectiveness of Isokinetic training enhanced by Kinesio tape on quadriceps muscle weakness post lower limb healed burn.
Subjects and Methods:Sixty burned patients, forty males and twenty females, with burned body surface area about 30% to 40%. Their ages ranged from 25-40 years. They were selected from Kasr Aini and Orabi Hospital and were divided randomly into two equal groups. group (A) composed of 30 patients (19 males and 11 females) who received isokinetic training in form of concentric-eccentric exercise programwith kinesio tape of dominant weak quadriceps at90/s angular velocity, intensity of exercise begun (with 70-75%) of maximum peak torque and increased from one set to five sets during the first five sessions and remained at six sets for the remaining 6th to 15th sessions and Finally a dose of ten sets were applied for 16th to 24th session , for (10-30)minutes per session,3times/week for 8 weeks after at least 12 month post burn. Andgroup (B) composed of 30 patients (21 males and 9 females) who received isokinetic training in form of concentric-eccentric exercise program of dominant weak quadriceps at 90/s angular velocity begun (with 70-75%) of maximum peak torque for (10-30)minutes per session, 3times/week for 8 weeks.Method of evaluation is isokinetic dynamometer assessment machine to measure dominant quadriceps peak torque, total work and average power. Results:this study revealed significant increase in peak torque, total work and average power of the group A and B post treatment compared with that pre-treatment (p > 0.001). The percent of change of peak torque, total work and average power of group A was 938.31, 20.27 and 54.39% respectively and that of group B was 22.42, 20.16 and 35.26% respectively.
Conclusion: Isokinetic training enhanced with Kinesio tapeis more effective than isokinetic in strengthening weak quadriceps muscle post healed burn.
