NCT04352192

Brief Summary

The aim of the investigator's study is to analyze the effect of kinesiotaping (KT) on the electrical activity of the muscle by using time and frequency domain analysis of the electromyography (EMG) signals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • The first assessment of electromyographic activity

    The electromyographic activity of biceps brachii muscle will be measured during elbow maximum isometric flexion by using electromyography device before KT for KT group or as a first assessment of the control group. The test will be repeated three times.

    at inclusion

  • The second assessment of electromyographic activity

    The electromyographic activity of biceps brachii muscle will be measured during elbow maximum isometric flexion by using electromyography device immediately after KT application for KT group or at 10th minutes after the first assessment as a second assessment of the control group. The test will be repeated three times.

    after KT application for KT group or at 10th minutes after the first assessment

  • The third assessment of electromyographic activity

    The electromyographic activity of biceps brachii muscle will be measured during elbow maximum isometric flexion by using electromyography device at 30 minutes after the second assessment. The test will be repeated three times.

    30 minutes after the second assessment

  • The last assessment of electromyographic activity

    The electromyographic activity of biceps brachii muscle will be measured during elbow maximum isometric flexion by using electromyography device at 24 hours after KT application or the second assessment. The test will be repeated three times.

    at 24 hours after KT application or the second assessment

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • The first assessment of maximum isometric voluntary contraction torque

    at inclusion

  • The second assessment of maximum isometric voluntary contraction torque

    after KT application for KT group or at 10th minutes after the first assessment

  • The third assessment of maximum isometric voluntary contraction torque

    30 minutes after the second assessment

  • The last assessment of maximum isometric voluntary contraction torque

    at 24 hours after KT application or the second assessment

Study Arms (2)

Kinesiotaping Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The group in which kinesiotaping is going to be applied to biceps brachii muscle of participants and will assess EMG activities before KT, immediately after KT, after 30 minutes and 24 hours of KT. The EMG analysis will be performed during maximum isometric voluntary contraction of biceps brachii muscle.

Other: Kinesiotaping

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The group in which kinesiotaping is not going to be applied. EMG activities will be assessed first assessment and after 10th minutes, 30th minutes and 24th hours of the first assessment. The EMG analysis will be performed during maximum isometric voluntary contraction of biceps brachii muscle.

Interventions

KinesiotapingOTHER

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