“…The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a fundamental structure for the primary restraint of anterior tibial under the femur (1) . It is frequently injured while playing sports that require pivoting movements, changes in direction, quick stops and jumps (2,3) , leading to lower joint stability and mobility, muscular hypotrophy, reduced strength and deficit in the sensorimotor integrity of the knee (4) .…”

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesion causes a deficit in joint stability and mobility, trophism and muscular strength, generating asymmetries between the lower limbs. Objective: To verify the effect of a physiotherapeutic protocol on the Lower Limb Symmetry Index (LLSI) and the correlation between strength and EMGs, pre and post reconstruction of the ACL. Methods: Twenty subjects (10 ACLrg + 10 CONTg) were evaluated regarding isometric force and electrical activity of knee extensors, knee flexors and hip abductors. Results: A significant increase (P<0.01) in knee extension and flexion strength and hip abduction strength were observed both for the affected limb and non-affected limb. Regarding the LLSI, a significant increase was observed for knee extension and hip abduction movements in the pre- and post-treatment comparison, and between ACLrg X CONTg (P<0.01) for the knee extension movement in the pre-reconstruction phase of the ACL. A very strong correlation (r=0.945; P<0.01) was also observed between the LLSI strength X EMGs during knee extension, pre- and post-reconstruction surgery. Conclusions: Six months after reconstruction of the ACL, there was an increase in strength and EMG activity of the knee flexor, knee extensor and hip abductor muscles, leveling the LLSI between ACLrg and the CONTg, however, with a significant correlation between the two variables (strength X EMGs) for only one of the three movements (knee extension).

“…About 70% of ACL injuries is due to maximum overloads during sports activities, particularly those involving deceleration movements, rotation and jumps. (10)(11)(12)(13) The ACL injury occurrence is becoming more frequent, due both to automobile accidents as well as in sports; is predominant in males. Some authors believe that soccer is the main physical activity that leads to injury of this ligament.…”

Introduction: The Kinesio Taping method (KT) was created by the Japanese chiropractor Kenso Kase in the 70s. He was trying to develop a tape which could help the normal function of the muscle tissue in order to give an external support without cause limitations to these tissues. Objectives: To evaluate the strength of extensor musculature of patients’ knees in the post-operatory of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and compare the strength, power and resistance of the extensor musculature of the knee with and without the use of the tapes of the KT method. Method: The studying of the kind of the reported case, where it was applied the KT tape on the extensor musculature of a patient’s knee who was undergone corrective surgery of ACL, it was used the Biodex SYSTME 3 PRO. Results: It was verified that in the first exam the left femoral quadriceps presented the deficit of strength, power and resistance related to the right one. In the third exam it was applied the KT tape and there was a decrease of the deficits of strength and power and an increase of the deficit of resistance. Conclusion: The use of the KT tape potentiates the gain of the strength and power of the weakened musculature and increase the values of the deficit of the muscle resistance and it can be a auxiliary resource in the physiotherapic treatment.
