| AIM The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of kinesiotaping technique on quadriceps muscle strength.METHODSThe study included healthy volunteers without a contraindication for kinesiotaping. Study group included 14 female athletes from Gazi University Soccer Team, and control group included 14 female students studying in Hacettepe University Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. The girls in control group were not performing active daily sport. All subjects made 15 minutes warm-up exercises before measurements. Firstly, all subjects’ leg strengths were measured before kinesiotaping and then kinesiotape was applied on quadriceps muscle groups in both legs with the help of a specialist physiotherapist. Muscle strength was re-measured 30 minutes after kinesiotaping. The highest values were recorded after two trials. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test by using SPSS 15 Package Program. RESULTS A total of 28 healthy volunteer female students (14 in study and 14 in control groups) participated in the study. The means of age, height and weight in study group were as 15.9 ± 0.8 years, 163.28 ± 6.93 centimeters and 57.0 ± 7.28 kilograms, and in control group 17.9 ± 0.2 years, 168.85 ± 6.5 centimeters and 59.57 ± 7.08 kilograms, respectively.There was not any significant change of leg strength after kinesiotaping either in study or control group (p> 0.05).COCNCLUSIONKinesiotaping of quadriceps muscle seems to have no effect on the leg strength of healthy volunteers. |
