Popis:	Objectives: To examine the effects of stimulating massage given to the quadriceps, sartorial, gracile and hamstrings muscles on knee joint position sense (JPS).Study design: Two randomized groups in a crossover design.Subjects: Eighteen healthy subjects between 21 and 31 years old volunteered (12 women and six men).Methods: The JPS was measured three times on the right knee in both groups. In a crossover design, with 7 days washout, 18 subjects received stimulating massage of the right quadriceps, sartorial, gracile and hamstrings muscles for 10 min or rested as control between measures. The JPS was measured as a single-leg and double-leg test. To assess if stimulating massage improved the subject's ability to reproduce a joint position, absolute error (AE) was used as primary outcome measure. AE is the mean of the differences between the target angles and the subject's estimated angles excluding the largest observed difference.Results: In the single-leg experiment, a median difference in AE between group...
