简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of Dynamic tape on cervical and thoracic region posture in asymptomatic male individuals.
详细描述
Fifty-one asymptomatic individuals between the ages of 18 and 32 years were included in the study. The participants in this study were randomised into two groups, named "Dynamic Taping" (mean age± sd: 23.28±3.41 yrs, n=25) and "Sham Taping" (mean age± sd: 25.15±4.13 yrs, n=26). In the Dynamic taping group, tapes were applied with optimal stretching, while in the Sham taping group, tapes were applied without any stretch. All measurements were done before taping and 30 minutes after taping. Craniovertebral, cranio-horizontal and sagittal shoulder angles were calculated with photographic posture analysis, while thoracic kyphosis was evaluated with a digital inclinometer (JTech IQ Pro™, ABD).

结局指标
主要结局
Cranio-horizontal angle (after)
时间窗: 15 minutes after tape
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CH angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study. This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the tragus and the line drawn from the tragus to the lateral canthus of the eye. It provides information about the position of the head above the neck and the location of the upper cervical spine.
Craniovertebral angle (before)
时间窗: 5 minutes before tape
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CV angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study.This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra and the line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra to the tragus . The CV angle provides information about the position of the lower cervical region and is used in the objective evaluation of FHP.
Craniovertebral angle (after)
时间窗: 15 minutes after tape
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CV angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study.This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra and the line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra to the tragus . The CV angle provides information about the position of the lower cervical region and is used in the objective evaluation of FHP.
Photographic Posture Assessment
时间窗: 15 minutes after tape
o take pictures of the participants, the camera (Logitech, Switzerland) was placed on a tripod with a height of 115 cm and at a distance of 1.5 m (33). In order to maintain the same distance between the camera and the participants, a spot on the ground was marked for the subjects to stand, and the tripod was fixed to the ground. The photos were taken of the left side of the subjects in standing position. Before photographing, reflective markers were placed on the lateral canthus, tragus, 7th cervical vertebra, and acromion. During the photography, the subjects were asked to stand in a comfortable position as in daily life.
Sagittal shoulder posture angle (after)
时间窗: 15 minutes after tape
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and SSP angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study.This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the acromion and the line connecting the acromion to the 7th cervical vertebra. This assessment provides information about the position of the shoulder
Cranio-horizontal angle (Before)
