Background: To evaluate the effect of Kinesio taping applied on the ankle instability, joint range of motion and balance. Methods: The participants included in this study were male and female, 20~30 ages, who experiencing an ankle sprain or had chronic pain, did not exercise during the intervention, and did not experience severe exercise at least 3 weeks before. A total of twenty-four participants were divided into two groups: Kinesio taping applied group (n=12) and control group (n=12). The experiment was conducted for a three days. Measurements were taken for ankle joint range of motion using goniometer, and measurements were taken for balance using good balance system. Pre-test measurements were conducted on before Kinesio taping apply, and 24 hours after, 48 hours after, 72 hours after measurements were conducted. Statistical analysis was done using a independent samples t-test and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: There were significant differences to the duration of intervention in ankle joint range of motion and balance within the both group. However, there was a significant differences Kinesio taping group when comparing the groups. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, applying Kinesio taping to ankle instability is more effective on ankle joint range of motion and to recover balance.

This study examined the effects of kinesio taping on recovery from fatigue induced by an exercise of concentric contraction using an isokinetic machine. The fatigue was introduced by a mode of exercise at 60°/sec, 50 repetitions for three sessions. The changes of blood ammonia, lactate, LDH, and CK as a marker of fatigue were monitored. Eight healthy collegiate students participated in two experiments; 1) kinesio taping application condition and 2) no kinesio taping application condition. Before experiments, their physical characteristics were measured. For the experiment, blood samples were taken before and immediately after exercise, and 24hr as well as 72hr of recovery period. Window SPSS package 12.0 version was used and one-way ANOVA with repeated measures were employed. The results were as follows. 1) Blood ammonia tended to reduce along the recovery, but no differences between conditions were noticed. 2) Blood lactate tended to reduce during the recovery period, but differences between conditions were not noticed. 3) The LDH was not different between conditions and CK tended to reduce during the recovery period, but differences between conditions were not noticed. Based on the results, kinesio taping did not influence on recovery phase of blood ammonia, lactate concentration, LDH, and CK.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the korean medical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, especially taping therapy for carpal space expansion. Methods : Six patients were treated with acupuncture, moxibustion and kinesio taping therapy. To evaluate the pain and numbness of the palm and finger, visual analogue scale(VAS) and Phalen's test were used. Results : After about 10 to 20 times treatment, the pain and numbness of almost cases were remarkably removed. Also the VAS of post-treatment was reduced by 1.33(means). And the time being required to response to Phalen's test was signally prolonged, as 5 cases took over one minute. Conclusions : Korean medical treatment including expansion taping of carpal space as kinesio correction therapy is remarkably effective for carpal tunnel syndrome. But further studies are required to concretely prove the effectiveness of correction taping on other compressive neuropathy.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Kinesio taping in each area of the ankle versus the knee to improve balance abilities and proprioception sense. The healthy twenty eight students were divided into two groups, Group A and B. Ankle taping was applied to Group A, and knee taping was applied to Group B. In the ankle taping group, significant increase of dynamic balance abilities was appeared in the forward, left ward and right ward (p<.05). In the knee taping group, there was significant increase of dynamic balance abilities in the forward and left ward (p<.05). There was no significant increase of static balance abilities in both groups. In both groups of ankle and knee taping, there was significant increase of proprioception sense. These findings suggest that ankle and knee taping was helpful for improving dynamic balance abilities and proprioception sense.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plantar flexor on muscle fatigue and endurance when two different sport tapes are applied. Design: Cross-sectional design. Methods: Fifty-one healthy adults were randomly assigned to dynamic taping group (n=17), kinesio taping group (n=17), and control group (n=17). The dynamic taping group used the dynamic tape. The kinesio tape group used the kinesio tape, and the control group doesn't used tape. Every group performed heel rise test and sEMG for every during pre-test and post-test. To evaluate plantar flexor endurance, the number of times was measured during the heel rise test. Results: The number of heel rises increased significantly in the post-test in dynamic taping group compared to the pre-test, and In comparison between groups, the number of heel rises significantly increased in dynamic taping group compared to kinesio taping group and control group. PEF value was significantly increased in the post-test compared to the pre-test in dynamic taping group, and there was a significant difference between the three groups according to the taping application. Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed that dynamic taping was effective in musclular fatigue and endurance on plantar flexor in healthy adults. Based on these results, it is suggested that the application of dynamic tape can be suggested as one of the intervention methods for muscle endurance and muscle fatigue.

본 연구의 목적은 kinesio taping 적용이 근력 향상에 미치는 영향을 직 간접적으로 관찰함으로써 운동 수행시의 상해예방 및 수행력 향상을 위한 수단으로서의 taping 요법에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 있었다. 본 연구는 남자 대학생 10명을 대상으로, 근력 향상의 정도를 직접적으로 관찰하기 위하여 1RM test와 Cybex test를 실시하였으며, 생리학적 변인으로는 CK, LDH, phosphorus, ammonia, creatinine, IGF-I의 6가지 혈중 성분을 분석함으로써 피로와 근 손상의 정도를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 kinesio taping은 근력향상의 직접적인 지표(1RM, 등속성 운동능력)에는 긍정적으로 작용했지만, 85%-1RM의 웨이트트레이닝 시의 근 피로 또는 근 손상 지표물질의 농도는 유의하게 감소시키지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 본 연구의 결과만을 가지고 taping의 적용이 피로 및 근 손상 완화 효과가 없다고 판단할 수는 없을 것으로 생각된다. 왜냐하면, 본 연구에서의 피로 및 근 손상 유발 수단인 85%-1RM 웨이트트레이닝은 고강도의 운동이며 운동에 소요된 시간도 40분 정도로 장시간이지만 다양한 근육부위에 적은 반복수와 set를 적용하였기 때문에 피로 및 근 손상 지표물질의 축적이 현저하지 않았을 수 있기 때문이다. 이는 taping 적용 후 나타난 여러 혈중성분들의 감소(Creatinine 제외) 경향으로 설명할 수 있으며, 실제로 선행 연구 중 특정 대근육에 대한 반복적인 운동에 kinesio taping을 적용하여 피로 및 근 손상 완화를 입증하기도 하였다. 본 연구가 가지는 의의는 특정 동작에 있어서의 근력 향상을 중점적으로 관찰한 연구가 아닌, 전신에 대한 taping을 적용한 후 각 근육 부위에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 다양한 관점에서 관찰하였다는 데 있다. 이후의 연구에서는 본 연구에서 관찰한 변인들 이외에도 신경계통의 변인들과의 상관관계도 함께 관찰 하는 통합적인 연구도 의의가 있다고 하겠다.

Purpose: This study examined that effect of a change in balance index on ankle Kinesio taping, muscle strength exercises and taping after muscle strength exercises in 30 healthy adult subjects. Methods: The Sway Index of the left, right, front and back on stable, toes up and linear were compared using a Balance System, a balance experimental instrument. Results: The pre and post experimental balance index regarding stable, toes up, and linear were taken for the Kinesio taping group, lower extremities muscle strengthening group, and muscle strengthening with the Kinesio taping group. Statistically significant decreases were observed in all variables except for the left and right pre and post experiment results under stable conditions. Conclusion: The balance index of exercise with taping was lower than that of exercise only. There is a need for objective research on the long-term applications and post-exercise. The body balance appears to be influenced by ankle stabilization using taping.

Background: The purpose is to investigate the immediate effects of kinesio taping on quadriceps induced fatigue by short-term squat. Methods: This research is cross-over designed study and conducted as a single-blind. Eleven students (Age: $18.91{\pm}0.49yrs$, height: $167.09{\pm}8.46cm$, $62.55{\pm}11.32kg$) were participated in this study. All the participants were applied short-term squat for inducing fatigue, and then intervented all three conditions (kinesio taping applied condition, placebo taping applied condition, non-taping applied condition). The interval of each intervention was at least a seven days to prevent carry-over effects. The participants were tested peak torque (isometric contracture) and active joint position sense (active JPS) pre-post intervention. A paired t-test was used to find the significance of pre-post intervention results and one-way ANOVA was used to find the significance between interventions with significant level as .05. Results: Peak torque was significantly increased on KT condition (p<.05). But there were no significant effects on active JPS. Because kinesio taping facilitates Ia afferent by tactile stimulation with stretched skin, reduced muscle power by short term squat which induce muscle fatigue was increased. But kinesio taping does not affect mechanoreceptor in muscles, induced active JPS by short-term squat had no changes.
