[Purpose] In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of elastic tape in increasing the dorsiflexion angle and plantar flexor strength in healthy individuals. [Participants and Methods] This randomized controlled trial included 24 healthy university students who were categorized into the following groups (12 participants in each group): the intervention group (elastic tape was applied to the dominant foot) and the control group (no intervention was performed). We performed intergroup comparison of the pre- and post-intervention dorsiflexion angles and plantar flexor strength. Additionally, we performed subgroup analyses based on a straight-leg raise angle of 70°. [Results] We observed no significant intergroup differences in the dorsiflexion angle or plantar flexor strength. However, the post-intervention dorsiflexion angle was significantly greater than the pre-intervention angle in the subgroup with a straight-leg raise angle of <70° among participants in the elastic tape group. [Conclusion] Elastic tape application may effectively increase the dorsiflexion angle in individuals without hamstring extensibility.
[目的] 在本研究中，我们调查了弹性胶带对增加健康个体背屈角度和跖屈肌力量的有效性。[参与者与方法] 这项随机对照试验纳入了24名健康大学生，他们被分为以下几组（每组12名参与者）：干预组（将弹性胶带应用于优势脚）和对照组（不进行干预）。我们对干预前后的背屈角度和跖屈肌力量进行了组间比较。此外，我们基于70°的直腿抬高角度进行了亚组分析。[结果] 我们观察到背屈角度或跖屈肌力量在组间无显著差异。然而，在弹性胶带组参与者中，直腿抬高角度<70°的亚组干预后背屈角度显著大于干预前角度。[结论] 应用弹性胶带可能有效增加腘绳肌伸展性不足个体的背屈角度。
