Brief Summary

This study will be conducted in two years: In the first year, the investigators would verify the relation between wearable device and motion analysis and its validity and reliability. In advance, the investigators are going to observe the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics of high-school soccer and basketball athletes. In the second year, the investigators would recruit high school soccer and basketball athletes to examine the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics under fatigue.

Conditions

Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)

Keywords

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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Understand the correlation between wearable devices (KinMAS system) and Vicon dynamic analysis system, and further assessment of the reliability and validity of the wearable devices (KinMAS system).

  The investigators would recruit health volunteers (n=15) to verify the relation between wearable device and motion analysis and its validity and reliability. Vicon motion capture system (golden standard) and wearable device (KinMAS system) are used simultaneously to measure the angle changes of the trunk and lower limbs with jump-landing task and counter movement jump.

  1st Year

• Observe the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics.

  The investigators would recruit senior high school athletes (n=50) to compare the changes of trunk and lower extremities joint angles with dynamic taping intervention. Subjects need to wear the wearable device (KinMAS system) and take double-leg Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Score test with dynamic taping intervention. The athletic trainer will intervene with spiral dynamic technique by using a dynamic tape for the first test and a sham dynamic tape for the second test, or reverse the order. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) with double-leg consists of 17 items; total score is 0-19 points. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  1st Year

• Observe the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics after fatigue protocol.

  The investigators would recruit senior high school athletes (n=50) to compare the changes of trunk and lower extremities joint angles with dynamic taping intervention. Subjects need to wear the wearable device (KinMAS system) and take double-leg and single-leg Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Score tests with dynamic taping intervention after fatigue protocol. The athletic trainer will intervene with spiral dynamic technique by using a dynamic tape for the first test and a sham dynamic tape for the second test, or reverse the order. 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

Study Arms (1)

Senior high school athletes in Taiwan

EXPERIMENTAL

In the first year, the investigators would verify the relation between wearable device and motion analysis and its validity and reliability at stage I (n=15). And the investigators are going to observe the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics of high-school soccer or basketball athletes (n=50) at stage II. In the second year, the investigators would recruit high school soccer and basketball athletes to examine the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics under fatigue (n=50).

Device: dynamic taping

Interventions

dynamic taping DEVICE

The athletic trainer will intervene with spiral dynamic technique by using a dynamic tape for the first test and a sham dynamic tape for the second test, or reverse the order.

Model Details: The first year, the investigators would verify the relation between wearable device and motion analysis and its validity and reliability (n=15). And the investigators are going to observe the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics of high-school soccer and basketball athletes (n=50). In the second year, the investigators would recruit high school soccer and basketball athletes to examine the effect of dynamic taping in lower limb biomechanics under fatigue (n=50). In order to exclude the influence of sequence and learning effect, a cross-over study was used, and the interval between the two tests was about 2 weeks.
