Background: This study was designed to identify the effect of the taping on the forward head posture during computer work.
Methods: Twenty healthy adults were statistically assigned into 2 groups, the taping group (n=10) and the control group (n=10). In order to induce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), twenty subjects performed isometric exercise of the neck on Bobath table for 20 minutes. During the experiment, subjects in taping group were attached Kinesio-tape on their upper trapezius. By using 2-D motion analysis, measurements were taken before taping, at 24 hour, 48 hour, and 72 hour after inducing DOMS. The effects of taping were evaluated by the angle of the head.
Results: The results of this study were as follows; 1) There was no significant difference between the taping group and the control group (p>.05). 2) The control group had no significance, but the taping group shown a significance on the angle of head during computer work (p<.01). The interaction of group x period also shown a significance (p<.01).
Conclusion: From these result, it was revealed that the taping therapy on upper trapezius could improve the angle of head during computer work.
