This study evaluated the effect of sports taping for anterior cruciate ligaments injured knee on knee joint kinematics while walking. Kinematic gait analysis of 10 young people with intact knees was performed using intelligent knee brace. Three kinematic parameters (knee flection, anterior-posterior tibial displacement, and internal-external rotation of the tibia) were measured when the subjects walked at their natural speed with sports taping and without taping. The results showed that the sports taping limited the three kinematic parameters compared to without taping. However, the efficacy of taping was deteriorated with time.
