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.

ERKEK TEKERLEKLİ SANDALYE BASKETBOLCULARDA KİNEZYO BANT UYGULAMASININ OMUZ KAS KUVVETİNE AKUT ETKİSİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, tekerlekli sandalye basketbol sporcularında omuz bölgesine uygulanan kinezyo bant uygulamasının kas kuvveti üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Araştırmaya TSK Karagücü tekerlekli sandalye basketbol takımında yer alan 12 erkek sporcu dahil edilmiştir. Deneklerin yaş ortalaması 31,17±7,90 yıl, vücut kitle indeksi ortalaması 25,41±6,96 kg/cm2’dir. Bireyler deltoid kasına ve omuza uygulanan kombine kinezyo bantlama öncesi ve sonrasında değerlendirildi. Deltoid kası üzerine kas fasilitasyon tekniği uygulandı. Deneklerin omuz bölgesine ait deltoid kasına izokinetik ölçümleri Cybex NORM izokinetik dinamometre ile yapıldı. İzokinetik ölçümler için dominant omuzun fleksiyon ve abdüksiyon hareketlerine bakıldı. Ölçümler kinezyo bant uygulanmadan önce ve uygulandıktan sonra tekrarlandı. İzokinetik ölçümlerde 60o/sn 5 tekrar ve 180o/sn 10 tekrar izokinetik omuz kuvveti testi uygulandı. Pik tork ve toplam iş hesaplandı. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS for Windows 25.0 paket programı kullanıldı. Ön-son test karşılaştırılmasında Wilcoxon testi uygulanmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 olarak kabul edildi.
Sonuçlar: Çalışmanın sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, tüm bireylerin dominant ve nondominant taraflarında 60o/sn ve 180o/sn'deki fleksiyon ve abdüksiyon tepe tork ve toplam iş değerlerinde bantlama sonrası lehine artış bulundu (p<0,05).
Tartışma: Omuz bölgesine uygulanan kinezyo bant uygulamasının tekerlekli sandalye basketbol sporcuların izokinetik olarak ölçülen kas kuvvetini olumlu yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma kinezyo bant uygulamasının kas kuvvetini desteklemek amacıyla kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
