The scientific literature is insufficient to support the use of elastic or rigid taping for the prevention or treatment of musculoskeletal injury or performance enhancement. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of applying rigid taping on the knee extension strength and lower limb function in healthy subjects.

Twenty eight healty volunteers (age: 20.9 ± 1.1 years) were randomly assigned to two groups of 14 subjects each: Placebo/sham tape and rigid tape (Rigid tape application over the same muscles). All individuals were assessed for single and double leg hops and peak isometric and concentric isokinetic torque before and after interventions.

Application of rigid tape to quadriceps muscles did not significantly change lower limb functions, jump distance and knee extensor peak torque in healthy sedentary subjects.

Quadriseps kasına yapılan rijit bantlamanın diz ekstansör kas kuvvetine ve sıçramaya etkisi

Öz

Kas iskelet sistemine ait yaralanmaların önlenmesi ve tedavisi ya da performansın geliştirilmesi için elastik ya da rijit bantlamanın etkinliğine dair yeterince bilimsel destek bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı bireylerde rijit bantlamanın diz ekstensör kas kuvveti ve alt ekstremite fonksiyonlarına etkisini göstermektir.

Yirmi sekiz sağlıklı gönüllü (yaş 20.9 ± 1.1 yıl) randomize olarak her biri 14 denekten oluşan 2 gruba ayrıldı: Plasebo ve rijit bantlama grubu (aynı kas grubu üzerine rijit bantlama uygulanmış). Tüm deneklere uygulama öncesi ve sonrasında tek bacak sıçrama mesafesi, çift bacak sıçrama, izometrik ve izokinetik kuvvet ölçümleri yapıldı.

Sağlıklı sedanter erişkinlerde quadriseps kasına yapılan rijit bantlama alt ekstremite fonksiyonlarında, sıçrama mesafesinde ve diz ekstensör kas kuvvetinde önemli bir değişikliğe neden olmamaktadır.
