    Data on the mechanism of kinesiology taping (KT) for providing mechanical support, facilitating or inhibiting muscles, and increasing functionality in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been contradictory, with no study evaluating acute muscle activation. Our aim in this study was to determine the acute effect of KT applied to the rectus femoris muscle on this muscle's activation, functionality and proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis. We divided 40 individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis into two groups: (a) KT group (taping with tension facilitation) and (b) a placebo group (taping with no tension facilitation). We applied taping to the participants' left and right side rectus femoris muscles for 30 minutes, but with muscle facilitation in the KT group and without tension in the placebo group. We assessed participants for muscle activation with surface electromyography (sEMG), for functionality with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and for proprioception/joint sense with the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5TSTS) before and after taping. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the groups before these interventions were similar (p > .05). Muscle activation did not change significantly in either group compared to before taping (p > .05), but there were improvements in both knees for proprioception/joint sense (p < .05). Both groups were similar in terms of functionality (5TSTS, TUG) results (p > .05). We concluded that KT applied bilaterally to the rectus femoris did not affect rectus femoris muscle activation and functionality in patients with knee OA, but it did improve proprioception.

    The Cutoff Value of the Calf-Raise Senior Test for Older Faller
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Abit Kocaman, Ayse; Demirci, Cevher; Aydogan Arslan, Saniye; Yildirim Sahan, Tezel; Vergili, Ozge; Oral, M. Ayhan; Bezgin, Sabiha
    Aims The aim of this study is to determine a cutoff value of the calf-raise senior test and dual-calf-raise senior test according to fall history. Methods 150 elderly individuals participated in descriptive study. Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Calf-Raise Senior Test (CRST) and Calf-Raise Senior Test with additional cognitive task (dual- CRST) were applied. Results It was found to be high correlation between CRST and the BBS ,medium with TUG, and high with FRT . It was found to be high correlation dual-CRST and the BBS,medium with the TUG and high with FRT. According to the fall history, the cutoff value for the CRST was found 18.3 repetitions and 11.5 repetitions for the dual-CRST. Conclusion The present study has contributed significantly to the literature in terms of determining the cutoff value for fall risk in the CRST and dual-CRS.
