The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae
Mertová, Petra ; Lopot, František (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Author: Bc. Petra Mertová Title: The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae Problem definition: Chondromalacia patellae is a very frequent diagnosis related to knee injuries. Diagnosing chondromalacia is very difficult. Knee arthroscopy is the best method for evaluating the cartilage condition, however this technique is invasive. Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic method extensively used to affect knee pain. Patellar taping is an effective method in improving symptoms resulting from patellofemoral joint problems, nevertheless the evaluation of its effect has not yet been objectively investigated. Aim of the thesis: The aim of this study is firstly to discover the possibility to noninvasively detect chondromalacia patellae using the method of biorheometry and secondly to discover the impact of kinesiotaping on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae. Method: The designed experiment was performed as a pilot case study using the method of biorheometry. The history of the patient was monitored using a questionnaire and by a clinical examination of the knee joint. Two questionnaires were created to evaluate the functional state of the knee joint. Measurements were done on a special device called biorheometer....
Changes of rheological properties during various degrees of knee flexion
Vránová, Aneta ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Říha, Michal (referee)
Author: Bc. Aneta Vránová Title: Changes of rheological properties during various degrees of knee flexion Aim of the thesis: To find out if there is a difference in rheological properties in varoius degrees of flexion in the knee with meniscal tear and compare the results with measurement after physical aktivity. To compare changes of the reological properties of patients who have undegone meniscectomy a few years ago with patients with recent meniscectomy. Method: Experimental measurements were done by using the method of biorheometry which detects the passive resistance of the knee in movement from flexion to extension. Patients completed case history and a special questionnaire relevant to clinical changes connected to meniscal tear. Measuring data were evaluated and converted in the form of biorheogramme. We measured 6 persons. At first were done measurements in three different sequences for both lower extremities, the same measurement was repeated after the physical activity (50 squats). Results: We found changes of rheological properties in higher degrees of knee flexion with typical rising followed by fall of biorheogramme around flexion of 80ř. They were more remarkable after physical activity. Changes of rheological properies were more expressive in patients who have undergone meniscectomy...
