We aimed to investigate the effects of ankle taping on lower extremity biomechanics related to injury development and how these effects change after sports-specific use.
Randomized, repeated measures design with three conditions: Barefoot, tape applied fresh, and tape after sports-specific use (between-subject factor: sex).
Twenty-five healthy participants (ten female) performed sports-specific movements, including running, drop jumping, and 180° change of direction, under the three conditions. Kinetic and kinematic data were collected using 3D motion capturing and force platforms.
Tape applied fresh and tape after sports-specific use significantly reduced peak ankle inversion. Biomechanical risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament or running overuse injuries were either unchanged or decreased with tape applied fresh, except for the peak loading rate of the resultant ground reaction force, which increased between 4% and 18% between movement types. After 15 minutes of sports-specific use of the tape, the alterations induced by tape applied fresh remained for some biomechanical risk factors while they became closer to barefoot again for others, indicating a differential response to prolonged use of taping for different biomechanical variables.
Ankle taping protects the ankle joint by reducing biomechanical risk factors associated with ankle sprains, and most biomechanical risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament or running overuse injuries are not increased. Further research is needed to explore the duration of protective effects, variations across sports, and its impact on patients with chronic ankle instability, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of ankle taping's influence on lower extremity biomechanics.
我们旨在研究踝关节贴扎对与损伤发生相关的下肢生物力学的影响，以及这些影响在特定运动使用后如何变化。
随机、重复测量设计，有三种情况：赤脚、新贴扎、特定运动使用后的贴扎（受试者间因素：性别）。
25名健康参与者（10名女性）在三种情况下进行特定运动动作，包括跑步、单脚跳和180°转向。使用3D运动捕捉和测力平台收集动力学和运动学数据。
新贴扎和特定运动使用后的贴扎显著降低了踝关节内翻峰值。前交叉韧带或跑步过度使用损伤的生物力学危险因素在新贴扎时要么不变，要么降低，除了合成地面反作用力的峰值加载率，其在不同运动类型之间增加了4%至18%。在对贴扎进行15分钟的特定运动使用后，新贴扎引起的改变在一些生物力学危险因素中仍然存在，而在其他因素中则再次接近赤脚状态，这表明不同生物力学变量对长期使用贴扎的反应不同。
踝关节贴扎通过降低与踝关节扭伤相关的生物力学危险因素来保护踝关节，并且前交叉韧带或跑步过度使用损伤的大多数生物力学危险因素不会增加。需要进一步研究来探索保护作用的持续时间、不同运动之间的差异以及其对慢性踝关节不稳定患者的影响，以更全面地了解踝关节贴扎对下肢生物力学的影响。
