Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of differences in the tension of Kinesio tape applied to the tibialis anterior muscle on muscle strength, joint range of motion and balance of ankle joint in young adults.
Design: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Methods: 41 young college students participated in this study. And the subjects were allocated randomly to two group. The experimental group had a tension difference (10%G, n=20). And there was no differ- ence in tension in the control group (0%G, n=21).
Jtech power track ¥±, goniometer, and Biorescue were used to measure muscle strength, joint range of motion and balance. The paired t-test was performed to examine the differences within the groups before and after taping, and the independent t-test was performed to examine the differences between the groups.
Result: 1) As a result of measuring muscle strength of each group, all measurements except 0%G of plantar flexion showed insignificant results.
2) Measurement of joint range of motion each group showed that neither 0%G nor 10%G was significant.
3) As a result of measuring the baladncing ability of each group there was a significant decrease in length, and average speed of the balancing capability (p<.05).
4) Comparisons between groups showed significant differences in the area among balance capability (p<.05).
Conclusions: Based on these findings, the tension difference of Kinesio tape applied to the tibialis anterior muscle shows
little effect on the muscle strength, range of motion, and balance of ankle joints. Given the current lack of research on the tension of kinesio tapes many studies are needed in the future to establish clear theories.
