Effects of Kinesio Taping on Hip Abductor Muscle Strength and EMG Activity

NCT04728672 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: RRC-2019-27
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 34
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Athletes with chronic ankle instability tend to develop Glutei muscle weakness. This weakness makes the lower limb prone to injuries. Kinesio Tape (KT) may assist this muscle in performing its functions thus preventing injuries.

Conditions

Chronic Ankle Instability

Keywords

Chronic ankle instability; Hip abductors; Kinesio Taping; Muscle strength; EMG

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction

  Participants exerted maximum resistance against the dynamometer in the direction of hip abduction

  upto 1 month

• Electromyography

  Electromyographic activity of gluteus medius was measured during single leg squat test

  upto 1 month

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 26 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Repeated episodes of giving way after an initial ankle sprain,
• A history of at least 2 ankle sprains to the same side without injury to the contralateral ankle in the last 2 years,
• No history of other trauma to the lower extremities for the past 3 months prior to the study,
• Participants also needed to be capable of full weight-bearing without analgia,
• Subjectively reported that functional use of ankle had plateaued since the last injury.

You may not qualify if:

• Participants having a history of ankle fracture, knee ligament injury, back or lower limb surgery, neuromuscular disease, or current neurological deficit,
• Currently receiving ankle rehabilitation were excluded from the study.
