Clinical Trial Summary

This study perform to investigate the immediate effects of kinesiotaping and plasebo kinesiotaping on Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) angle and functional performance scores of wrist in healthy subjects.


Description:

Kinesiotape which created by Kenzo Kase in 1976, is a thin and elastic taping material similar to the structural properties and flexibility of human skin without limiting joint movements. In this study, kinesiotape will apply to the wrist extensor and flexor muscles using the functional correction and muscle facilitation techniques. Also placebo taping will apply on the same muscles with same kinesiotape without any stretching or positioning. A total of 4 applications including kinesiotaping and placebo taping will perform randomly in 4 consecutive days.

For each subject; A total of 5 separate evaluations will perform on the first day (without taping) and following 4 consecutive days (flexor carpi ulnaris muscle kinesiotaping, extensor carpi radialis muscle kinesiotaping, flexor carpi ulnaris muscle placebo kinesiotaping, extensor carpi radialis muscle placebo kinesiotaping). Between the taping and evaluation of the subjects will wait for 30 minutes.

There are several studies evaluating wrist movements performed in one plane with different methods. The Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) is the most commonly used wrist pattern in daily life and includes the entire oblique movement from radial extension to ulnar flexion.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on the kinematics and functional performance of healthy wrist. This study will be prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled and crossover.

We did not find any study including fascia correction kinesiotaping for DTM pattern.

The therapists who works in this area will have an advantage in the rehabilitation programs to know the effects of the muscle facilitation and fascia correction techniques kinesiotaping on wrist kinematics via DTM and wrist functional performance.

Also, we believe that our study will guide different professional groups working on technological rehabilitation with measurement techniques and evaluation methods.

Intervention

Other:
Kinesiotaping
Kinesio tape (KT) is the original elastic adhesive tape for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. Kinesio Tape is latex-free, hypoallergenic and wearable for days at a time. It has been shown to be clinically effective in joint range of motion promotion,increasing muscle activity and functional performance.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change of wrist range of motion. Change of wrist dart throwing motion (DTM- radial extansion to ulnar flexion movement of wrist) angle. Change of wrist DTM from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
Secondary Change of wrist functional performance. Change of functional performance of wrist (The Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test - MMDT). Change of MMDT scores from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
