Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate whether augmented low-dye taping treatment, which consists of low-dye, reverse-six, and calcaneal-sling taping, is effective in alleviating the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, which is used for physical balancing during one leg standing. Methods: The subjects comprised 27 students in their 20s whose navicular bone height was lowered by 10 mm or more when evaluated using the navicular drop test. Those with interference factors like deformities, fractures, or traumas were excluded. Frequency-division multiplexing was used to measure one leg standing, and the method to avoir the average each time after 3 times of measurement was applied. Results: Significant differences in the center of pressure (COP) path length, COP average velocity, and forefoot force were observed during left leg standing (p<0.05), but for right leg standing, only changes in forefoot force were noted. Conclusion: Based on the changes to the non-dominant leg in terms of COP path length, COP average velocity, and forefoot force, the immediate effect of augmented low-dye taping, which combines three types of anti-pronation taping, on one leg standing balance in people with flat feet was confirmed.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of Jeonbuk tri-pull taping and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise on the shoulder's active range of motion, pain, subluxation, upper extremity function, and activities of daily living in patients with stroke. Methods: In this study, Jeonbuk tri-pull taping and PNF exercise were applied to three patients with stroke and subluxation. The tape was removed and new tape applied for two days every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday over six consecutive weeks. PNF exercise was applied five times a week for six weeks. To measure the range of motion, a smart phone clinometer application was used, and the degree of pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). A jig measuring method was employed to measure the distance of subluxation. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was used to evaluate arm function, and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) was employed to evaluate the activities of daily living. Results: The shoulder's active range of motion was improved in the patients compared to the range of pre-tests, and the pain and subluxation distance were reduced compared to those of pre-tests. Arm function and activities of daily living were increased compared to those of pre-tests. Conclusion: The study results verified that Jeonbuk tri-pull taping and PNF exercise are useful when applied to patients with subluxation and stroke.

이 연구는 비처치군, 대조군, 처치군 간의 Visual Analog Scale (VAS)와 Disability Index (Disa)의 변화를 비교하여 요통(LBP) 완화를 위한 테이핑 방법의 효과를 평가하였다. 결과는 대조군과 처치군 모두에서 테이핑의 효과를 확인했다. VAS의 ANOVA 분석에서는 그룹 간 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 사후 검정에서는 비처치군과 대조군, 비처치군과 처치군 간에 유의미한 차이가 나타났으나, 대조군과 처치군 간에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 이는 두 테이핑 방법이 요통 완화에 유사한 효과를 나타낸다는 것을 의미한다. Disa의 경우, ANOVA에서는 유의미한 차이가 나타났지만, 사후 검정에서는 이러한 차이를 확인하지 못했다. 그룹 내 t-검정에서는 대조군과 처치군에서 VAS와 Disa의 처치 전후 차이가 유의미하게 나타났지만, 비처치군에서는 유의미하지 않았다. 이 연구는 요통 완화를 위한 테이핑의 효과를 강조하며, 두 방법이 임상에서 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다. 향후 연구에서는 더 큰 샘플과 다양한 조건을 사용하여 이러한 결과를 검증해야 한다.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of taping method using elastic tape and non-elastic tape on pain, grip strength and muscle activity in middle-aged female patients with lateral epicondylitis. METHODS: The subjects were 40- to 50-year-old female patients with lateral epicondylitis. A total of 22 subjects were divided into two groups, and each group had 11 patients. The intervention was carried out three times a week for 4 weeks. One group applied tape using elastic tape (ETG) while the other group applied tape using non-elastic tape (NETG). The measurement factors were pain, grip strength, and muscle activity. Pain was measured using VAS. Grip strength was measured using a grip dynamometer, and muscle activity was measured using EMG in the affected extensor carpi radialis brevis. Changes in interventions were compared among the groups using a paired t-test. The comparison between groups compared delta values (Changed values) between pre- and post-intervention using an independent t-test. RESULTS: In both groups, there was a statistically significant decrease in VAS. However, there was no statistically significant decrease in the delta value of VAS between ETG and NETG. In both groups, grip strength and muscle activity increased after intervention. There were statistically significant differences in delta values between ETG and NETG. CONCLUSION: Taping is a good intervention method for patients with lateral epicondylitis. Both elastic tape and non-elastic tape were effective. In particular, taping using elastic tape is an effective method for improving muscle function with pain reduction.

Background: In the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, the goals of traditional physical therapy are not only to reduce the inflammatory process leading to pain, but also to decrease joint overload and muscle hyperactivity. To achieve those goals, physical therapists generally use a photo-therapy, joint mobilization, and massage. Objects: To examine the impact of an unloading technique using non-elastic taping on the pain, opening mouth, functional level, and quality of life in patients with TMJ disorder. Method: Twenty patients with TMJ disorder were included in this study and randomly divided into the experimental ($n_1$=10), and control ($n_2$=10) groups. Traditional physical therapy including massage and stretching for 30 min was performed in both groups. Non-elastic taping was performed in the experimental group after traditional physical therapy, and they were recommended to keep the tape attached for 12 hours. Outcomes for pain, functional level, and quality of life were measured using a survey. The opening mouth was measured using a general ruler. Result: Significant differences were observed in the pain level, opening mouth, functional level, and quality of life after the intervention and on follow-up in both groups. However, we found that while the levels of all parameters were maintained throughout the follow-up period in the experimental group, the functional status level was not maintained throughout the follow-up period in the control group. Conclusion: Our unloading technique using non-elastic tape results comparable to those achieved by traditional physical therapy in the treatment of TMJ. However, the unloading taping method using non-elastic tape is more effective than traditional physical therapy in maintaining the impact of intervention.

본 연구의 목적은 마비측 다리에 나선형 방향으로 테이핑을 적용하여 뇌졸중 환자의 보행능력에 미치는 즉각적인 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 뇌졸중 환자 42명을 각각 실험군(나선형 테이핑군) 21명과 대조군(넙다리네갈래근 테이핑군)21명으로 나누어 테이핑을 부착하였다. 두 집단 모두 10m 보행 검사(10 meter walk test)와 동적 보행 지수(Dynamic Gait Index; DGI), 가속도계(Accelerometer)를 이용한 시 공간적 보행변수 중 보행율(cadence), 속도(speed), 마비측 보행주기(gait cycle duration), 마비측 디딤기(stance phase duration), 마비측 양발 지기기(double support duration)를 측정하였다. 연구 결과 중재 전과 중재 후 두 집단 모두 10m 보행과 DGI 그리고 보행율, 보행속도에서 유의한 증가를 보였고 마비측 디딤기, 마비측 보행주기, 마비측 양발지지기에서 증가 및 감소하였지만 유의한 차이가 없었다. 두 집단간 변화량 차이는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 테이핑을 통한 뇌졸중 환자의 보행능력 변화에서 두 방법 모두 보행능력에 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 나선형 테이핑은 테이핑 절단 횟수가 적고 비교적 쉽게 적용이 가능하므로 가정에서 적용 시 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 방법일 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Kynesio-taping therapy (KTT) on chronic joint pain among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A pre-experimental design was used. KTT was employed on 23 consenting community older adults visiting a community center. KTT was applied on the painful joint for 3-4 days. Pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale. Results: Frequent locations of pain were waist (43.8%), knee (28.1%), shoulder (12.4%), and head (9.4%). Time of severe pain during the day was mid-day (47.8%), early morning (21.7%), and evening (13.0%). Pain relief management included hospital visitation (65.2%), medication (17.4%), and application of a poultice (13.0%). Pain scores were significantly decreased after KTT compared to pretest scores acquired prior to taping (p<.001). Conclusions: KTT is a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and effective form of pain relief in older adults with chronic joint pain. Clinical practitioners can consider KTT as a complementary method of chronic pain control in older adults.
