About this study
Official title: Investigation of the Physiological Effects of Fascia Correction Kinesiotaping in Healthy Adults: An Ultrasonographic Study
Single-center, within-subject repeated-measures study The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effects of kinesiotaping applied using the fascia correction technique with different tension levels on fascial layers and associated musculature in healthy individuals.
Outcome measurements. The primary outcome was the ultrasonographically measured thickness of the fascial layers, while secondary outcomes included the thickness of the superficial and deep flexor muscle layers and the subcutaneous tissue.
Read the detailed description
The fascial system plays an important role in force transmission, movement coordination, and interaction between musculoskeletal structures. Kinesiotaping is a commonly used therapeutic approach in rehabilitation, and the fascia correction technique has been proposed to influence fascial mobility and mechanical properties. However, the acute effects of different kinesiotape tension levels applied with the fascia correction technique on fascial and underlying musculoskeletal structures remain unclear.This single-center, within-subject repeated-measures study aims to investigate the immediate effects of kinesiotaping applied using the fascia correction technique with different tension levels on fascial layers and associated soft tissues in healthy individuals.
Healthy volunteers aged 18 years or older will be included. Participants will undergo kinesiotape application with different tension levels according to the study protocol. Ultrasonographic assessments will be performed to evaluate changes in fascial layer thickness as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will include ultrasonographic measurements of superficial and deep flexor muscle thickness and subcutaneous tissue thickness.
The study is designed to provide objective ultrasonographic measurements of acute tissue responses following kinesiotaping application and to improve understanding of the potential mechanical effects of the fascia correction technique on fascial and musculoskeletal structures.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The superficial antebrachial fascia thickness
ultrasonographic measurements were obtained from the dominant forearm at the mid-forearm level. the hyperechoic linear structure separating the subcutaneous tissue from the superficial flexor muscles was defined as superficial antebrachial fascia thickness
Measured: Baseline and 30 minutes after two different interventions (different tensions). A one-week washout period was implemented between applications
The deep antebrachial fascia thickness
Ultrasonographic measurements were obtained from the dominant forearm at the mid-forearm level. the hyperechoic linear structure separating the superficial and deep flxor muscles was defined as superficial antebrachial fascia thickness
Measured: Baseline and 30 minutes after two different interventions (different tensions). A one-week washout period was implemented between applications
Secondary outcomes (3)
the subcutaneous tissue thickness
Subcutaneous tissue thickness measured by B-mode ultrasonography (millimeters)
Measured: Baseline and 30 minutes after two different interventions (different tensions). A one-week washout period was implemented between applications
