발목 테이핑 방법들이 정적 균형과 관절가동범위에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study was designed to compare the effects of ankle taping methods (Kinesio Taping & Spiral Taping) on the balance and range of motion. The subjects were the 40 students attending at the universities in Gwang ju city and Jeollanam-do(province), and they were healthy without any lesion in their balances and lower limbs. The subjects classified by random allocation into Kinesio taping group(n=20) and Spiral taping group(n=20) and then measured with Nintendo Wii Balance Board and Goniometry what changes happened before and after the taping application. Analysis of this test using SPSS ver 17.0. The effects of ankle taping methods were analysed by t-test, paired t-test. The following were the results from the study.

1. According to the results from pre-measure of two groups, there were no significant difference in weight supporting rate(WSR), one legged stance(OLS) and range of motion(ROM). ROM was measured in Dorsi flexion(DF) and Plantar flexion(PF).

2. Regarding to change of WSR, WSR of Kinesio taping group was increased from 48.0+1.6% in pre-measure to 49.2+1.5% in post-measure, it showed significant difference. But WSR of Spiral taping group was 48.9+2.8% in pre-measure, 48.5+1.9% in post-measure, it didn't mean significant difference statistically(p>0.05). There were significant difference statistically in comparison with changes between two groups according to the taping methods.

3. Regarding to change of OLS, OLS of Kinesio taping group was increased from 64.8+10.2% in pre-measure to 68.1+9.1% in post-measure, it showed significant difference. But OLS of Spiral taping group was increased 65.5+5.8% in pre-measure, 67.7+6.0% in post-measure, it didn't mean significant difference statistically(p>0.05). There were no significant difference statistically in comparison with changes between two groups according to the taping methods.

4. Regarding to change of ROM, ROM of Kinesio taping group was increased from DF 12.1+4.1°, PF 41.9+6.1° in pre-measure to DF 13.8+4.4°, PF 44.6+5.4° in post-measure, it showed significant difference. And ROM of Spiral taping group was increased from DF 14.0+4.2°, PF 41.3+5.8° in pre-measure to DF 16.1+3.8°, PF 43.9+5.7° in post-measure, it showed significant difference(p<0.05). There were no significant difference statistically in comparison with changes between two groups according to the taping methods.

This study showed significant difference statistically in ROM between two methods applied to ankle taping methods but it did not show significant difference in comparison with changes and significant result was indicated in WSR and OSL before and after Kinesio taping. As mentioned above, ROM was improved regardless of taping methods, and Kinesio taping had an effect on the improvement of static balance.
