Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vastus lateralis inhibition taping when using non-elastic tape with the contraction characteristics of the quadriceps muscles. The study included 37 healthy individuals in their 20s.
To compare the contraction characteristics of the quadriceps muscles after applying the non-elastic tape to the vastus lateralis, muscle tension and muscle contraction times were measured using tensiomyography. There was a significant difference in muscle tension of both the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris before and after applying the non-elastic tape to the vastus lateralis muscles. There was a significant difference in the contraction characteristics of the vastus medialis muscle on the left side in male participants. Additionally, before and after applying the non-elastic tape, the vastus lateralis/vastus medialis ratio and the rectus femoris/vastus medialis ratio of muscle tension decreased significantly. The muscle contraction times of the three muscles were not affected by applying non-elastic tape to the vastus lateralis. Use of non-elastic tape reduced muscle tension of the quadriceps muscles and rectus femoris muscles, but had no effect on the muscle contraction time.
