NCT03470714

Brief Summary

The study is assessed the electromyographic activity response of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle during unilateral-dominant concentric, eccentric and isometric biceps brachii muscle contractions under kinesiotaping and non-taping conditions. The aim of the study is to determine the synergistic effect of kinesiotaping which is applied on non-dominant biceps brachii muscle on force irradiation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion

    while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion

    while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs concentric elbow flexion.

    while the right elbow performs concentric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs concentric elbow flexion

    while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs eccentric elbow flexion

    while the right elbow performs eccentric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs eccentric elbow flexion

    while the right elbow performs eccentric elbow flexion, electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii was determined by using surface electromyography device. After signal processing and normalization, the electromyographic data of kinesiotaping and control groups will be compared.

    after inclusion

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Measurement of the electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii muscle during left elbow maximum isometric flexion by using electromyography device.

    after inclusion

  • Measurement of the electromyographic activity of left triceps brachii muscle during left elbow maximum isometric extension by using electromyography device.

Study Arms (2)

Kinesiotaping Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The group in which kinesiotaping is applied to non-dominant biceps brachii muscle of participants before 24 hours the force irradiation experiment.

Other: Force IrradiationOther: Kinesiotaping

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The group in which the participants only perform the the force irradiation experiment.

Other: Force Irradiation

Interventions

Force IrradiationOTHER

For the force irradiation, while the subjects perform dominant elbow flexion at an angular velocity of 60°/s for concentric contractions, 30°/s for eccentric contractions, at 90° elbow flexion position for isometric contractions with a maximal effort level, electrical activity of the non-dominant biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles are recorded.

Control groupKinesiotaping Group
KinesiotapingOTHER

For kinesiotaping, the elbow positioned in 30°-45° flexion and kinesiotaping facilitation technique is applied origin to insertion of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle before 24 hours the experiment.
