To evaluate the effect of inhibition and facilitation taping techniques on the activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus.
Repeated-measures design.
Laboratory in an educational institution.
Thirty healthy females aged between 18 and 23 years.
Subjects were tested during the application of inhibition tape, facilitation tape and no tape to vastus lateralis in random order.
Electromyographic activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus during stair descent was recorded using bipolar surface electrodes.
Electromyographic activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus during the application of inhibition tape or facilitation tape did not alter significantly compared with no tape condition.
Taping designed to inhibit or facilitate muscle activity via sensory stimulation does not affect vastus lateralis or vastus medialis obliquus activity in healthy subjects. Further investigation is required to find a means of muscle taping that could be recommended as an intervention for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
评估抑制性贴扎技术和促进性贴扎技术对股外侧肌和股内侧斜肌活动的影响。
重复测量设计。
一所教育机构内的实验室。
30名年龄在18至23岁之间的健康女性。
受试者在股外侧肌分别应用抑制性贴扎、促进性贴扎和不贴扎的情况下,按照随机顺序接受测试。
使用双极表面电极记录下楼梯时股外侧肌和股内侧斜肌的肌电活动。
与不贴扎的情况相比,应用抑制性贴扎或促进性贴扎时,股外侧肌和股内侧斜肌的肌电活动没有显著变化。
旨在通过感觉刺激抑制或促进肌肉活动的贴扎对健康受试者的股外侧肌或股内侧斜肌活动没有影响。需要进一步研究以找到一种肌肉贴扎方法,可推荐作为髌股疼痛综合征患者的一种干预措施。
