Purpose: This study was to determine the effects of before and after application of silicone sleeve on balance and muscle strength in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients. Methods: 13 subjects who had one or more months after ACL surgery were involved. Dynamic balance, timed up and go (TUG), stair step, vertical jump, proprioception and isokinetic knee strength were measured while subjects under taped, untapped and silicone sleeve conditions. Results: For 30 seconds one-leg standing, there was a significant improvement under silicone sleeve on operated side with eyes open and both taping and silicone sleeve revealed similar effects with eyes closed (p<0.01). Application of silicone sleeve showed significant effects in proprioceptive function on the operated side compared to both taping and none (p<0.05). For stair step test, TUG and vertical jump was a tendency to improve after application of silicone sleeve, but no significant different. Muscle strength on operated side of quadriceps and hamstring was significantly improved compared with none or taping(p<0.05). Conclusion: Silicone sleeve application for ACL reconstruction patients was effective immediately on improving strength and balance. Therefore, depending on the intended use and the disease is considered appropriate use of silicone sleeve will be able to help prevention and functional movement.

Background: Thera-Band, Narrow squats, Kinesiology taping helps in the reduction of loading on the knee joints. Despite the fact that the varus knee negatively affects the alignment of the lower extremities, most of the studies have analyzed each independently. Objectives: To investigate the effects of a complex exercise program consisting of elastic band exercises and squat exercises on the distance between the inner knees and balance in young adults with genu varum. Design: A cluster randomized controlled trial. Methods: The complex exercise group performed resistance exercises using an elastic band. The taping group used kinesiology tape on the vastus lateralis and biceps femoris. To select those to be included in the study, we measured the distance between the knees using digital Vernier calipers and to measure the balance ability, we used a balance training system. The data were analyzed with the independent t-test and paired t-test. Results: The study indicated a significant difference in the distance between the knees between the two groups, but no significant differences in the dynamic balance between the groups. Also, the static balance comparison between the groups according to the intervention method included the trace length, C90 area, C90 angle and velocity. There were no significant differences in the static balance between the groups. In addition, the complex exercise program was more effective than taping. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that the complex exercise program and taping decrease the between both the knee and increase the balance.

The perceptual presentation of interior design is to represent an interior space planned by a designer as if people see it in reality. The perceptual presentation methods that have developed are perspectives, full-scale models, small-scale models, photography of models, video taping of models, computer images, computer animation, and virtual reality. The purpose of this study is to investigate limits of those perceptual presentation methods according to their characteristics. The methods have characteristics that are either static or dynamic and either monoscopic or stereoscopic. In terms of representing interior spaces and perceiving interior spaces, the dynamic characteristic is more helpful than the static characteristic because the dynamic characteristic provides consecutively changing views of interior spaces when people walk around within the spaces. The stereoscopic characteristic is more helpful than the monoscopic characteristic because the stereoscopic characteristic provides the binocular depth perception. Full-scale models, small-scale models, virtual reality that have dynamic and stereoscopic characteristics, are most effective. The next effective methods are video taping of models and computer animation that have dynamic and monoscopic characteristics. The last effective methods are perspectives and photography of models that have static and monoscopic characteristics. But the most effective methods can not be said that those are perfect because each of them still has limits. Designers have to consider the limits of each perceptual presentation method to find a way that shows their designs most effectively. To develop the perceptual presentation methods of interior design, researchers should focus on the helpful characteristics that are dynamic and stereoscopic.

상해 예방을 위해 이용하는 테이핑의 효과는 이미 선행연구들에서 이해할만하게 이야기 되어져 왔지만, 기능적 발목 불안정성을 가진 대상자에게 동적 임무를 가지고 지면반력과 안정성을 분석한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구는 발목 불안정성을 가진 선수들을 대상으로 점프 후 착지 시 지면반력 변인과 안정성에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있다. 이 실험을 위하여 기능적 발목 불안정성을 가진 14명의 선수가 참가하였고 동작분석과 지면반력 값을 산출하기 위해 적외선 카메라 8대(Vicon MX-F20, Oxford Metric Ltd, Oxford, UK)로 구성된 동작분석시스템(Vicon Motion Systems)과 지면반력기를 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과 발목 불안정성이 있는 선수에게 테이핑의 적용은 착지 시 배측굴곡 각속도, 내번 각속도, 최대 수직지면반력을 감소시켰으며, 안정성과 관련된 변인인 A-P cop, M-L cop에서 안정성을 향상시켰다. 임상에서 발목 불안정성이 있는 선수들에게 상해 예방을 위한 하나의 방법으로 테이핑의 사용을 권장해도 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 보수볼을 이용한 발목 근력 강화 운동과 테이핑이 엄지발가락가쪽휨증 환자의 정적과 동적 발바닥 압력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 실시하였다. 대상자는 엄지발가락가쪽휨증을 가지고 있는 20대 남녀 26명이며, 테이핑군(Taping group, TG; n=13)과 발목 강화 운동군 (Ankle strengthening group, ASG; n=13)으로 무작위로 배치하였고, 각 군은 총 4주에 걸쳐 해당 중재를 실시하였며, 중재 전과 후에 정적, 동적 발바닥 압력을 측정하였다. 집단 간 변화량의 차이를 알아보기 위해 독립 T검증을 실시하였고, 집단 내의 사전-사후값의 측정값 차이가 유의한지 알아보기 위해 대응표본 T검증을 실시하였다. 통계적 유의수준은 α= .05로 설정하였다. 발의 전체 체중에 대한 비율(Foot)은 왼쪽 발의 ASG가 TG에 비해 집단 내 변화량이 유의하게 감소하였고(p<.05), 발의 표면적(Surface area)에서는 오른쪽 발의 TG가 ASG에 비해 집단 내 변화량이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). 발의 엎침 운동의 정도(MP/change ratio)는 오른발의 TG가 ASG에 비해 집단 내 변화량이 유의하게 감소하였고(p<.05), 발의 힘(Force)에서는 왼발의 TG가 ASG에 비해 집단 내 변화량이 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.05), 집단 간의 변화에서는 TG의 변화량이 ASG의 변화량보다 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 따라서 보수볼을 이용한 발목 강화 운동과 테이핑은 엄지발가락가쪽휨증을 가진 환자에게 효과적인 변화를 주기에는 부족하다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the short-term effects of spiral taping (ST) on performance on the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in individuals with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: This study was single-group pre - post measures experimental design. The subjects with CAI were 39 (range, 20-31 years; male 16, females 23) were enrolled in the study. The discomfort had in unilateral ankle and Cumberland ankle instability score was 19.56 (${\pm}3.29$). Spiral tape (a width of 3 mm) was applied $3{\times}4$ cross shape on medial malleolus, lateral malleolus and dorsal of talocural joint of unstable ankle. SEBT was measured baseline and 30 min later in stable ankle and unstable ankle. Results: SEBT showed significantly improved after applying the ST (p<0.05, ES=0.74) on unstable ankle. In comparison the difference of stable and unstable ankle, between the pretest and posttest were significant differences (p<0.01, ES=1.88). Conclusion: These results indicated that ST improves performance on the SEBT. Therefore, it suggests that ST may be a suitable intervention to dynamic balance in patients with CAI.

Background: Flat-footed persons with collapsed medial longitudinal arch lose flexibility after skeletal maturity, resulting in several deformities and soft tissue injuries. Although arch support taping is usually applied in the clinic to support the collapsed arch, research on the use of different types of tape for more efficient arch support in flat-footed persons is lacking. Objects: The purpose of this study was to examine three conditions (barefoot, kinesio tape, and dynamic tape) and compare their effects on static and dynamic balance in persons with asymptomatic flexible flatfoot. Methods: Twenty-two subjects (9 females and 13 males) with asymptomatic flexible flatfoot participated in this study. The subjects performed the Y-balance test to measure the composite reach score. The subjects also performed a 30-second standing test to measure the center of pressure (COP) path length and a walking test to measure anteroposterior and lateral variability using the Zebris FDM system. One-way repeated-measures analysis of variance compared the three conditions applied to the subjects' feet for each balance variable. Results: The composite reach score significantly increased following the application of dynamic tape compared with barefoot and that of kinesio tape compared with barefoot. There was no significant difference in the COP path length during standing among the three conditions. Anteroposterior and lateral variability during walking significantly with dynamic tape application compared with barefoot. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that, in persons with asymptomatic flexible flatfoot, application of kinesio tape and dynamic tape may be effective in increasing the composite reach score in Y-balance test, whereas application of dynamic tape may be effective in reducing anteroposterior and lateral variability during walking.

Background: Individuals with calf muscle shortening may have decreased dynamic balance. Objects: This study aimed to investigate the effect of mobilization with movement (MWM) and myofascial release (MFR) on kinematic changes in dynamic balance in individuals with calf muscle shortening. Methods: Thirteen participants were randomly assigned to the MWM or the mobilization with movement added myofascial release (MWM-MFR) group. The MWM group received treatment with only MWM, whereas the MWM-MFR group was treated with MWM and MFR. Pre- and post-intervention passive range of motion (PROM), maximum reaching lengths, and modified star excursion balance test (MSEBT) results were compared for all participants. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed significant within-group differences in ankle PROM, but no significant between-group differences. The maximum reaching length in the MWM-MFR group in the posterolateral direction was significantly different before and after the intervention (p = 0.005). This group also showed significantly reduced ankle abduction in MSEBT during the posteromedial direction section 3 (p = 0.007) and posterolateral direction section 5 (p = 0.049) compared with the MWM group. Conclusion: Combined MWM and MFR intervention improves ankle stability in the coronal plane during the posteromedial and posterolateral forward movement in dynamic balance compared with only MWM in individuals with calf shortening.
