The main purpose of the present work is to examine the effect kinesiotaping on postural control in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction during challenging conditions.
Design
Pragmatic, community based, parallel group, single blind, randomized controlled trial
Settings and conduct
In the present study, a series of 40 numbers including "1" and "2" will be determined. These will then be placed in a sealed envelope. The numbers will be selected from top to down by the physiotherapy ward secretary, respectively.
Single blinded
The participant, assessor, and statistical analyzer will be blinded from the allocation details.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants aged between 18 and 35 years, In addition, It was included all complete and non- complete tear of anterior cruciate ligament with and without meniscal injury in the present study.
Exclusion criteria subjects will be excluded if they had any serious neurological disorders, musculoskeletal disorders (except for ACLD), history of falling؛ narcotic usage 48 hours before data collection, alcohol usage 48 hours before data collection.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Y-shaped tapes will be applied in origin-insertion direction to facilitate the muscles. While the patient is lying on lateral position, the tape will be placed on the rectus femoris muscle with a tension of 25–30% bringing the hip to extension and the knee to 30-35° of flexion and the tape will be placed on the hamstring muscle with a tension of 40–50% by bringing the hip to flexion and the knee to extension. A corrective kinesiotaping with a tension of 100% will be attached on anterior surface of tibia on 30 degrees of flexion and pull the tibia into backward in relation to the femur.
Control group: Placebo kinesiotape will be applied without tension on the front and back side of the knee.

Description
Intervention group: A 5-cm-wide Kinesiotape (Ares, Korea) will be used in treatments. Few hours after shaving the area of the skin to be taped, Y-shaped tapes will be applied in origin-insertion direction to facilitate the muscles. While the patient is lying on lateral position, the tape will be placed on the rectus femoris muscle with a tension of 25–30% bringing the hip to extension and the knee to 30-35° of flexion and the tape will be placed on the hamstring muscle with a tension of 40–50% by bringing the hip to flexion and the knee to extension. A corrective kinesiotaping with a tension of 100% will be attached on anterior surface of tibia on 30 degrees of flexion and pull the tibia into backward in relation to the femur.
