Athletic tape has been used on the ankle to decrease range of motion and to prevent injuries. Results from previous research found that with physical exercise athletic tape loses some of its restricting properties; recently, a new self-adherent taping product was developed that may restrict range of motion regardless of exercise.
Self-adherent tape will maintain ankle range of motion restriction more than traditional white cloth tape both before and after activity.
Controlled laboratory study.
Twenty volunteers participated in testing procedures on 3 separate days, 1 for each taping condition (self-adherent, white cloth, and no tape). The participant's ankle range of motion was measured with an electrogoniometer before application of the tape, immediately after application of the tape, and after 30 minutes of physical exercise. Range of motion was measured in 2 planes of motion: inversion to eversion and dorsiflexion to plantar flexion.
White cloth tape and self-adherent tape both restricted inversion to eversion range of motion immediately after application, but with 30 minutes of exercise only the self-adherent tape maintained the decreased range of motion. For dorsiflexion to plantar flexion range of motion, the white tape and self-adherent tape both significantly decreased range of motion immediately after application and after the exercise protocol.
The self-adherent tape maintained range of motion restriction both before and after exercise. Conversely, the white cloth tape lost some of its restrictive properties after 30 minutes of exercise.
运动胶带一直被用于脚踝，以减少活动范围并预防损伤。先前的研究结果发现，在体育锻炼时，运动胶带会失去一些限制性能；最近，一种新型自粘胶带产品被研发出来，无论是否运动，它都可能限制活动范围。
自粘胶带在活动前后比传统白布胶带能更好地保持脚踝活动范围的限制。
对照实验室研究。
20名志愿者在3个不同日期参与测试程序，每种胶带使用情况（自粘胶带、白布胶带和不使用胶带）各进行一天测试。在粘贴胶带前、粘贴胶带后立即以及进行30分钟体育锻炼后，使用电子测角仪测量参与者的脚踝活动范围。在两个运动平面测量活动范围：内翻到外翻以及背屈到跖屈。
粘贴后，白布胶带和自粘胶带都限制了内翻到外翻的活动范围，但在进行30分钟锻炼后，只有自粘胶带保持了减小的活动范围。对于背屈到跖屈的活动范围，白布胶带和自粘胶带在粘贴后以及锻炼方案后都显著减小了活动范围。
自粘胶带在运动前后都保持了活动范围的限制。相反，白布胶带在锻炼30分钟后失去了一些限制性能。
