The Assessment of Impact of the Kinesiology Taping on Changes in the Selected Motor Skills in the Hypermobile Female Dancers
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Background. Both physical and mental effort undertaken in pursuit of perfection in the dance makes improving the quality of motor skills for dancers is just as important as the development of skills. In the literature there are reports that Kinesiology Taping facilitates muscle activity which contributes to increase their strength. The aim of the study was to eval-uate the effectiveness of KT application in improving muscle strength in female dancers with joint hipermobility after injury.Material and methods. The research involved 44 jazz female dancers with musculoskeletal pain in lower part of the body. Average age of dancers was M = 20,12; SD = 2,88; Min = 18; Max = 25. All patients reported joint hipermobility by Sachse. In the dancers KT applications for three weeks, three times were used for selected groups of muscles, peripheral joints and spine after a screening test. Before and after treatment muscle strength of selected muscles were measured using a dynamometer MicroFet2.Results. The analysis results indicate that the use of KT applications significantly contributed to the increased muscle strength following: quadratus lumborum, piriformis, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, iliopsoas, biceps femoris, semitendinosus ald semimembranosus and adduc-tors (p < 0,005). There was no statistically significant difference in muscle strength after ap-plications for: latissimus dorsi, rectus femoris and tensor fascie late (p > 0,05).Conclusions. Applications KT of dancers hypermobility of musculoskeletal pains have sub-stantial impact on the muscle tone and strength of muscle examined.
