Abstract

Medial collateral ligament knee joint injury is one of movement disorders which causes
impaired mobility and function that inhibits daily activities. Pain and disability will be
increasing with the emergence of fatigue and atropism of muscles functioning as dynamic
stabilizer. Pain commonly occurs on a condition of medial collateral ligament knee joint
injury type I, in acute and chronic phase. The purpose of this study to determine the
effectiveness of the application of Kinesiotaping and elastic Bandage on intervention
stabilization exercises to decrease pain caused by injury to the medial collateral ligament of
the knee joint.This study was experimental with randomized pre and post test group design
which aimed to learn about causal phenomena by giving treatment to the study objects. The
study was carried out in Sport Health Clinic KONI Kota Langsa starting March to May 2015.
The subjects of study were 20 patients who were classified into two groups, 10 subjects of
treatment group I given kinesiotaping application and 10 subjects of treatment group II given
elastic bandage application. The measuring tool of VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) was used to
find out any pain reduction. The results of study showed that group I and II indicating pain
decrease with value of p = 0.008 (p<0.05) and p = 0.000 (p<0.005) respectively. Statistical
analysis also showed a significant difference on both groups. Application of technique on
group I was as effective as on group II to reduce pain due to medial collateral ligament knee
joint injury (p>0.05). From the above findings can be summarized that applications of both
kinesiotaping and elastic bandage on intervention of stabilization exercise are effective to
reduce pain due to medial collateral ligament knee joint injury.
