About this study
Official title: Effect of Kinesiotaping in Different Directions on Muscle Endurance in Healthy Individuals
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of different Kinesio taping directions on dynamic muscle endurance. This randomized, double-blind, crossover study was implemented on 27 healthy male subjects. Before the study, personal and demographic information of the volunteers were recorded and muscle strength was evaluated in the biceps curl position with 1 maximum repetition technique. One week after this first evaluation muscle endurance was evaluated by counting the accurate elbow flexions completed in biceps curl position with 80% weight of 1 maximum repetition recorded in the first evaluation. Following this second evaluation facilitation, inhibition, and placebo tapings were applied to all the 27 subjects who were randomly assigned into 3 groups sequentially with an interval of two days. The sequence of taping technique to be used for the groups were also randomly determined and applied to the M. Biceps Brachii and muscle endurance was evaluated with the same method half-hour after the tape was applied. All the evaluations were performed by the same evaluator who was blind to the taping technique.
Read the detailed description
Facilitation taping was applied from the origins of the muscle to the insertion. Inhibition taping was applied from the insertio of the muscle to the origin. Facilitation taping and inhibition taping was applied on the target tissue with 25% tension. Y-band was used during facilitation taping and inhibition taping. It was applied to individuals with shoulder mild abduction, external rotation, elbow extension and supination position. Placebo taping was applied while in a resting position. In placebo taping, it was applied using two I bands in horizontal direction. In placebo taping, no tension was applied to the tapes. Evaluations were made while the subjects were standing. The biceps curl exercise position starts with the palms facing the trunk. Elbow flexion is completed by making full range of motion. The cases were randomized into 3 groups: group-1 facilitation taping, group-2 inhibition taping and group-3 placebo taping.The treatment sequence to be applied to the patients was determined by randomization. Facilitation, inhibition and placebo banding were applied to the patients, respectively. Accordingly, inhibition and placebo taping was applied to the cases that started with the facilitation taping. Placebo and facilitation banding were applied to the patients that started with inhibition banding, respectively. Facilitation and inhibition banding was applied to the cases that started with placebo banding, respectively. During the evaluation, banding application was kept by wearing plenty of clothes. Evaluators and subjects participating in the study did not have knowledge and experience about the taping method.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FACILITATION TAPINGOther
The muscle technique, which is a kinesio tape technique, will be used in the biceps brachii muscle. Taping was done with 25% tension with Y tape from the origin to insertion of the muscle.
INHIBITION TAPINGOther
The muscle technique, which is a kinesio tape technique, will be used in the biceps braki muscle. Taping was done with 25% tension with Y tape from the insertio to origo of the muscle.
PLACEBO TAPINGOther
Unlike Kinesio taping muscle technique, it was performed with horizontal taping on the muscle. The ends of the kinesio tapes will be applied tension-free without overlapping with I tape.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Grup 1- Facilitation | Experimental | It consists of cases that start with the taping of the facilitation. Receives: Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING |
| Grup 2- İnhibition | Experimental | It consists of cases that start with the taping of the inhibition. Receives: Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING |
| Grup 3- Plasebo | Placebo comparator | It consists of cases that start with the taping of the placebo. Receives: Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Elbow Flexion
Muscle endurance was found by recording the number of elbow flexions performed within 1 minute in the biceps curl exercise position against moderate violence at the rate of 80% of 1 maximum repetition. Facilitation taping, inhibition taping and placebo taping were applied to 27 subjects randomized to 3 groups at two consecutive day intervals. The order of taping was also determined by randomization method and performed on the biceps braki muscle in the dominant limb of the subjects, and muscle endurance was evaluated half an hour after taping.
Measured: 2 minutes

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Elbow Flexion (time frame: 2 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2020.
