Abstract

Objective To observe the effects of kinesio taping on muscle force of quadriceps and hamstring in un-dominant side.

MethodsThe subjects are consisted of 25 normal adults ranging from 20 to 25. The experiment was carried out by Biodex S4 in the angular velocity of 60°/s. 24 hours of ongoing taping later, the experiment was taken again by multijoint isokinetic test and training system before applying the tape, taping immediately and 24h-taping. The indexes are peak torque (PT), relative torque (PT/BW), total work (TW) and the radio of the muscle force between hamstring tendon and quadriceps femoris (R).

Results Compared with un-taping(T1), in taping immediately(T2), it is significantly increased at PT, PT/BW and TW in quadriceps femoris (P<0.05); it is increased at PT, but there’s no difference (P>0.05), and it is significantly increased at PT/BW(P<0.01) and TW (P<0.05) in hamstringtendon; it is very significantly increased at R in taping immediately(T2) (P<0.01). After 24 h’s taping(T3), compared with un-taping(T1), it is very significantly increased at PT, PT/BW both in quadriceps femoris and hamstring tendon (P<0.01), while it is very significantly increased in quadriceps femoris (P<0.01) and significantly in hamstring tendon (P<0.05) at TW; it is significantly increased at R(P<0.05). Compared with taping immediately(T2), it is increased at PT, PT/BW in quadriceps femoris, but there is no difference (P>0.05), while it is significantly increased at TW (P<0.05) ; it is significantly increased at PT and TW (P<0.05), but it is no difference at PT/BW (P>0.05) in hamstring tendon; it is no difference at R (P>0.05).

Conclusion The technology of Y-style kinesio taping can improve the muscle force of quadriceps and hamstring in the un-dominant side in normal adults, while the effect of consisting taping is significant.
