Abstract
|
|
|
Background : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of taping on the neck rotation angle in the elderly.
Methods : The twenty-eight elderly aged over 60 and twenty-seven college students participated in the study. In both groups, neck rotation angles were measured through CROM before and after taping. SPSS 18.0 was used for data analysis.
Results : The results indicated that both groups showed significant increases in the neck rotation angles of the affected side after taping. However, there was no significant difference in the rotation angle of both neck regions after taping. The variation of the student group was higher than that of the elderly group after taping.
Conclusion : We think that taping can be effective in balancing the neck muscles of both sides and in increasing the rotation angle of the neck.
