Most biomechanical research on the application of Kinesio taping (KT) to the ankle joint focused on testing anticipated movements. However, ankle sprains frequently occur in real life in unanticipated situations, where individuals are unprepared and face sudden external stimuli. This situation is completely different from the anticipated situation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ankle KT application on the kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the knee and ankle joints during unanticipated jump tasks in collegiate athletes.
Eighteen healthy collegiate athletes experienced three taping conditions in a randomized order: no taping (NT), placebo taping (PT), and KT, and performed unanticipated jump tasks. A 9-camera infrared high-speed motion capture system was employed to collect knee and ankle kinematic data, and a 3-dimensional force plate was utilized to collect knee and ankle kinetic data during the tasks.
During the right jumps, KT significantly increased peak knee flexion angle (P = 0.031) compared to NT and significantly decreased peak vertical ground reaction force (P < 0.001, P = 0.001) compared to NT and PT. During the left jumps, KT significantly reduced peak ankle inversion angle (P = 0.022, P < 0.001) and peak ankle inversion moment (P = 0.002, P = 0.001) compared to NT and PT.
During unanticipated jump maneuvers, KT reduced peak ankle inversion angle, peak vertical ground reaction force, and peak ankle inversion moment and increased peak knee flexion angle in collegiate athletes.
大多数关于肌内效贴布（KT）应用于踝关节的生物力学研究都集中在测试预期动作上。然而，踝关节扭伤在现实生活中经常发生在意外情况下，即个体毫无准备且面临突然的外部刺激。这种情况与预期情况完全不同。本研究的目的是调查在大学运动员意外跳跃任务中，踝关节贴KT对膝关节和踝关节的运动学及动力学特征的影响。
18名健康的大学运动员以随机顺序经历三种贴布情况：不贴布（NT）、安慰剂贴布（PT）和KT，并进行意外跳跃任务。使用一个9摄像头的红外高速运动捕捉系统收集膝关节和踝关节的运动学数据，在任务过程中使用三维测力台收集膝关节和踝关节的动力学数据。
在向右跳跃时，与NT相比，KT显著增加了膝关节最大屈曲角度（P = 0.031），与NT和PT相比，显著降低了最大垂直地面反作用力（P < 0.001，P = 0.001）。在向左跳跃时，与NT和PT相比，KT显著降低了踝关节最大内翻角度（P = 0.022，P < 0.001）和踝关节最大内翻力矩（P = 0.002，P = 0.001）。
在意外跳跃动作中，KT降低了大学运动员的踝关节最大内翻角度、最大垂直地面反作用力和踝关节最大内翻力矩，并增加了膝关节最大屈曲角度。
