Brief Summary

This study will be conducted in three years: In the first year, we would recruit male and female high school soccer athletes to observe the effect of dynamic taping on landing error scoring system under fatigue status. In the second year, we would recruit junior high school, high school and college athlete to establish a native model of single-leg and double-leg LESS, then in advanced, confirm the ability to predict ACL injuries. In the third year, we will focus on high-risk subjects evaluated by LESS and athlete with ACL reconstruction to observe the supportive effect of dynamic taping.

Conditions

Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)

Keywords

Dynamic taping; Landing Error Scoring System (LESS); ACL injuries

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Score

  Recruit senior high school soccer athletes (n=30) to observe the difference with/without dynamic taping on landing error scoring system under fatigue status. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) with double-leg consists of 17 items, total score is 0-19 points, whereas the single-leg consists of 14 items and total score is 0-16 points. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  1st Year

• Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Score

  Recruit junior/senior high school and college athlete (n=900) to establish a native model of single-leg and double-leg LESS. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) with double-leg consists of 17 items, total score is 0-19 points, whereas the single-leg consists of 14 items and total score is 0-16 points. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  2nd Year

• Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Score

  Recruit high-risk subjects evaluated by LESS and athlete with ACL reconstruction (n=60) to observe the supportive effect of dynamic taping. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) with double-leg consists of 17 items, total score is 0-19 points, whereas the single-leg consists of 14 items and total score is 0-16 points. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  3rd Year

Study Arms (1)

Athletes in Taiwan

EXPERIMENTAL

In the first year, we would recruit senior high school soccer athletes (n=30) to observe the difference with/without dynamic taping on landing error scoring system under fatigue status. (2x2 cross-over study) In the second year, we would recruit junior/senior high school and college athlete (n=900) to establish a native model of single-leg and double-leg LESS, then in advanced, confirm the ability to predict ACL injuries. In the third year, we will focus on high-risk subjects evaluated by LESS and athlete with ACL reconstruction (n=60) to observe the supportive effect of dynamic taping. (2x2 cross-over study)

Device: dynamic taping

Interventions

dynamic taping DEVICE

1. The intervention of dynamic tape can improve the LESS, which also means that we may reduce the probability of ACL injury through the intervention of dynamic tape. 2. By establish a native model of single-leg and double-leg LESS can predict the occurrence of ACL injury early and further prevent it.
