Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is one of the most common exercise-induced leg pain. The navicular drop (ND) was identified as a risk factor for MTSS. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of sports taping applied to the supporting lower leg during sitting, standing, walking, and jogging to restrict the ND in healthy elite athletes.Twenty-four healthy elite athletes without a history of exercise-induced pain or injuries in the lower limbs participated in this study (median age: 21.00 years; 1st--3rd quartiles; 19.25-22.00). The 4 taping conditions were used: rigid taping (RT), kinesiology taping (KT), placebo taping (PT), and non-taping (NT). The order of taping techniques was randomly assigned. Normalized navicular height (NH), ND, and normalized ND evaluated using 3-dimensional motion analysis, and normalized peak plantar pressure (PP) were compared in 4 taping conditions during sitting, standing, walking, and jogging.During sitting, the normalized NH of RT is higher than that of NT, KT, and PT (χ = 17.30, P = .001), while during jogging, the normalized NH of RT is higher than that of NT and PT (χ = 10.55, P = .014). The normalized peak PP of NT is higher than that of PT (χ = 8.871, P = .031) in the lateral midfoot region.This study showed the RT technique maintained NH during sitting and jogging, and the RT technique could be an effective preventive and treatment strategy for MTSS.
胫骨内侧应力综合征（MTSS）是最常见的运动引起的腿部疼痛之一。足舟骨下降（ND）被确定为MTSS的一个风险因素。本研究旨在评估在健康的精英运动员坐着、站立、行走和慢跑时，对小腿进行运动贴扎以限制ND的短期效果。24名没有运动引起的下肢疼痛或损伤史的健康精英运动员参与了本研究（中位年龄：21.00岁；第1 - 3四分位数：19.25 - 22.00）。使用了4种贴扎条件：硬贴扎（RT）、肌内效贴扎（KT）、安慰剂贴扎（PT）和不贴扎（NT）。贴扎技术的顺序是随机分配的。在坐着、站立、行走和慢跑的4种贴扎条件下，比较了使用三维运动分析评估的标准化足舟骨高度（NH）、ND和标准化ND，以及标准化峰值足底压力（PP）。在坐着时，RT的标准化NH高于NT、KT和PT（χ = 17.30，P = 0.001），而在慢跑时，RT的标准化NH高于NT和PT（χ = 10.55，P = 0.014）。在足中外侧区域，NT的标准化峰值PP高于PT（χ = 8.871，P = 0.031）。本研究表明，RT技术在坐着和慢跑时能维持NH，且RT技术可能是MTSS的一种有效的预防和治疗策略。
