The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of direction of kinesio taping of wrist flexor muscles on force sense. Forty-five healthy women took part in this study, in three groups: kinesio taping application from origin to insertion (OI group) or from insertion to origin (IO group), and no kinesio taping (control group). Absolute and relative force sense errors were calculated with 50% maximal grip strength as the target force value. Absolute and relative force sense errors in the dominant hand were recorded before and 24 h after the application of kinesio tape to the forearm. Relative force sense error was significantly lower in the OI group than in the control group (P = 0.028). However, absolute force sense error did not differ significantly among the three groups (P = 0.431). Our results suggest that kinesio taping in the OI direction enhances relative force sense compared to no taping.
本研究旨在探讨肌内效贴布对腕屈肌力量感觉的影响。45 名健康女性分为三组：肌内效贴布从起点到止点（OI 组）或从止点到起点（IO 组）应用，以及不使用肌内效贴布（对照组）。以 50%最大握力为目标力值计算绝对和相对力量感觉误差。在将肌内效贴布应用于前臂之前和之后 24 小时，记录优势手的绝对和相对力量感觉误差。OI 组的相对力量感觉误差明显低于对照组（P=0.028）。然而，三组之间的绝对力量感觉误差无显著差异（P=0.431）。我们的结果表明，与不贴扎相比，OI 方向的肌内效贴布可增强相对力量感觉。
