ACUTE EFFECT OF KINESIOTAPE APPLICATION ON SHOULDER MUSCLE STRENGTH IN MALE WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to determine the effect of kinesiotaping application on wheelchair basketball players’ shoulders. Methods: A total of twelve wheelchair basketball players from TSK Karagücü team were involved in this research. The average age of the subjects was 31.17±7.90 years and mean body mass index was 25.41±6.96 kg/cm2. Subjects were assessed before and after combined kinesiotape application on deltoideus muscle. Muscle facilitation technique was applied to deltoideus muscle. Isokinetic parameters of the subjects’ shoulder joints were measured with Cybex NORM isokinetic dynamometer. It was taken the dominant shoulders' flexion and abduction movements into consideration for the isokinetic measurements. Measurements were repeated before and after kinesiotape applications. In isokinetic measurement, 5 repetitions at 60°/sec and 10 repetitions at 180°/sec for shoulder's muscle strength were performed. Peak torques and total works were calculated. In statistical analyses of the data, SPSS for Windows 25.0 packet program was used. Wilcoxon Test was performed in the pretest and posttest comparisons. The results were evaluated in 0.05 precision. Results: After the evaluation of the study, an increase of the peak torques, and total works have been found out of all the players’ dominant and non-dominant shoulders’ flexions and abductions at 60o/sec and 180o/sec in favor of the kinesiotaping application (p<0.05). Conclusion: It’s determined that the kinesiotape application on the shoulders of the wheelchair basketball players has positive effects on the isokinetic muscle strength of these players. This study has shown that the kinesiotaping application can be used to support muscle strength.
