Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of hallux valgus (HV) correction taping on the foot arch and balance of young adults with HV of the big toe. Methods: Forty-eight adults volunteered to participate in this study; of them, the 37 feet (11 men, 26 women) with ${\geq}15^{\circ}$ lateral bending of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe, on a goniometer, were selected as the target foot. Non-elastic correction tape was applied to the foot with HV, while the target foot was used to evaluate the changes, before versus after taping, in the lateral bending angle of the big toe, navicular drop level, Clarke angle, and static balance using a Gaitview system. Each measurement was performed three times, and the average of each set was used in the analysis. The patients'general characteristics were compared by using an independent t-test, and the measurement values were analyzed by using a paired t-test. Results: After taping, the lateral bending angle of the toe significantly decreased (p<.05), difference in navicular drop level significantly decreased (p<.05), the Clarke angle significantly increased (p<.05), and static balance significantly improved (p<.05). Conclusion: We showed that HV taping resulted in an immediately improved HV angle, arch, and single-leg standing balance on the foot with HV. However, further studies should investigate the correlation between HV and foot arch.

본 연구는 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기훈련 운동을 통하여 얻어지는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 4주간 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동이 하체기초체력과 보행에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 A대학에 재학중인 20대 여성 30명을 무선 선정하여 발목강화운동군, 무지테이핑 걷기운동군, 통제군 각 10명으로 선정하였다. 본 실험으로는 주 3회 60분간 4주간 수건 및 마사지볼, CRT를 이용한 마사지와 발목강화운동을 실시하였으며, 또한, 화이트 테이프 처치 후 20분간 걷기 및 키네지오 테이프를 이용한 무지외반 테이핑을 실시하였다. 위의 내용을 종합해본다면 4주간의 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동은 20대 여성의 하체기초체력(근력, 순발력, 평형성)과 보행(활보장, 족저압, COP)에는 통계적으로 일부 유의미한 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 실시한 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동이 하체 운동기능에 대한 효과를 확인하였으며, 후속연구에서는 통증위치별, 정형외과적 소견별로 나누어 보다 다양한 효과를 알아보는 연구가 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of taping therapy and inner arch support on pes planus lower extremity alignment and gait. Method: The study was conducted on 13 women in their 20s who had pes planus and no gait problems. Independent variables were the condition of wearing basic socks (S1) and the condition of wearing socks with taping therapy and inner arch support (S2). The dependent variables were resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP), plantar pressure distribution during gait, and underlying and medial longitudinal arch angle measured using radiography. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test with SPSS 23.0 for comparison of S1 and S2. Results: In the RCSP measurement, the angle range of S2 changed to normal. Meary's angle appeared to be less than the angle of S1, indicating alleviation of the degree of pes planus. The calcaneal pitch angle increased at S2 from that at S1. The plantar pressure distribution was divided into four areas (toe, forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot). At S2, the maximum pressure increased in the toe and midfoot. The maximum force increased significantly in the toe and midfoot but decreased significantly in the forefoot and hindfoot. In addition, the contact area increased overall especially at the midfoot and hindfoot. Contact time decreased in the toe and forefoot, but increased in the midfoot and hindfoot. Conclusion: Taping therapy and inner arch support showed structural improvement of the pes planus. In addition, the force and pressure applied to the foot during walking are distributed evenly in the area of the sole, thus positively affecting walking.

본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자에게 균형훈련과 동시에 장딴지근에 테이핑을 적용하여 발목관절 경직 및 균형능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 진행된 연구이다. 뇌졸중 환자 25명은 장딴지근에 테이핑을 적용한 상태에서 균형훈련을 한 연구군 14명, 거짓 테이핑을 적용한 상태에서 균형훈련을 한 대조군 11명으로 나뉘었다. 경직 평가는 수정된 ashworth 척도로 점수화 하였고, 균형능력 평가는 기능적 팔뻗기와 일어나 걸어가기 검사, TETRAX를 이용하여 눈 뜨고 감은 상태에서의 안정성 지수(stability index), 왼쪽 오른쪽 체중지지도, 앞 뒤 체중지지도를 선택하여 분석하였다. 연구군은 경직, 기능적 팔뻗기, 일어나 걸어가기, 눈 뜨고 감은 상태에서의 안정성 지수, 왼쪽 오른쪽 체중지지도, 앞 뒤 체중지지도에 유의한 개선이 있었다. 두 군간 비교에서는 연구군이 대조군보다 기능적 팔뻗기, 일어나 걸어가기, 눈 뜬 상태에서 안정성 지수, 왼쪽 오른쪽 체중지지도, 눈 감은 상태에서 왼쪽 오른쪽 체중지지도 앞 뒤 체중지지도에 유의한 개선을 보였다. 테이핑 적용상태에서 단기간의 균형훈련은 뇌졸중 환자의 경직 및 균형능력에 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 피부에 손상 및 이상이 없는 뇌졸중 환자라면 균형재활에 있어 장딴지근 테이핑 적용을 적극 권고하는 바이다.

Purpose : We investigated the effect of anti-flexion taping at the proximal interphalangeal joints on the gait in stroke patients with clawing toe. Methods : Nineteen patients (mean age $63.26{\pm}9.16$ years) with clawing toe were studied. Gait performance was measured under two different conditions : (1) non-tape (2) application of tape. Gait velocity, step time and stride length were examined with the GAITRite system Results : Compared to the non-tape control condition, step time of the hemiparetic side increased significantly after the application of tape(p=0.03). There was no significant mean differences between the taped and control conditions for stride length of the hemiparetic side and velocity. Conclusion : Whilst the anti-flexion tape at the proximal interphalangeal joints changed the walking by providing significant step time effect, positive changes were noted in stride length of the hemiparetic side after tape application. These findings indicate that anti-flexion tape procedures do not significantly alter stride length of the hemiparetic side and velocity.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters(STGPs) in healthy adults before and after a immediate intervention of a Mulligan taping program(MTP). Methods : A total of 12 healthy adults(mean age, 20.82 years; age range, 19-24 years) participated in the study. performance was assessed by recording changes in the STGPs using GaitRite. comparisons of changes in the STGPs at pre-intervention and at dischange were analyzed using the Wilcox signed rank test and Mann-Whithney U test. Results : There was a significant improvement in the outcome measures of STGPs(stride length, velocity) after immediate of MTP(p<0.05). However, no significant different pre-test and post-test step width, toe angle(p>0.05). Conclusion : Participants in a MTP improves STGPs, thereby increasing the ability of healthy adults to maintain gait. MTP appears to be a safe and efficacious, noninvasive treatment modality for patients with knee joint disease.
