简要总结
The aim of this randomised placebo-controlled study was to investigate the acute effect of kinesiology taping in the gastro-soleus muscle group of handball players.
Researchers compared the placebo and the kinesiology taping groups to see if there were any effects on foot plantar and dorsiflexion muscle strength, balance, proprioception, horizontal jumping and injury proneness.
详细描述
This randomised placebo-controlled and double blinded study aimed to investigate the acute effect of kinesiology taping in the gastro-soleus muscle group, which has the key role in jumping, of handball players on foot plantar and dorsiflexion muscle strength, balance, proprioception, horizontal jumping and injury proneness. There were two groups in the study: the experimental group was applied 'Y shaped' kinesiology taping on gastro-soleus muscle group, based on facilitation technique with 25-50% stretching. The control (placebo) group was applied kinesiology taping on gastro-soleus muscle group without any stretching. Participants' muscle strength, proprioception, balance, horizontal jumping and injury proneness was measured before and two hours after taping.

结局指标
主要结局
Proprioception
时间窗: 2 hours
Ankle proprioception was measured using Baseline Digital Inclinometer (New York, USA) device. This was measured on the dominant and non-dominant ankle with eyes open and eyes closed. Ankle dorsiflexion at 10 degrees, ankle plantar flexion at 11 degrees, and 25 degrees was measured in active reproduction test positions.
Muscle strength
时间窗: 2 hours
Foot dorsiflexion and plantar flexion muscle strength were measured using a manual dynamometer (MicroFET2 (Hogan Inc., West Jordan, USA). This device; shows the peak force in Newtons on its own screen. Measurements were made in three repetitions after a 30-second records. The highest value was recorded.
次要结局
- Injury proneness(2 hours)
- Balance(2 hours)
- Horizontal jump performance(2 hours)
