테이핑이 발목의 관절가동범위와 고유수용성감각에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effect of ankle taping and short period ofwalking on the treadmill on the range of motion (ROM) and proprioception at the anklejoint. Twenty healthy male subjects (mean age=24.2 yr) participated in this study. Goniometry and videotape replaying method were used to measure the ankle ROM. passive sagittal and frontal plane motions were messured. The difference in degreebetween the stimulus point and the reproduced point was defined as an angular error. The measurements were performed at four different phases: pre-taping (PRT),post-taping immediately (POT), post-5 minute working with taping (P5M), and post-10minute walking with taping (P10M). The ankle of dominant limb was taped by athe treadmill at 2,5 mph. The results showed that the mean of the sagittal plane motionat PRT, POT, P5M, and P10M, was 53.0, 30.5, 36.2, and 40.2 degrees, respectively.Thefrontal plane motion at PRT, POT, P5M, and P10M was 33.6, 13.9, 15.7, and 18.6derees, respectively. The angular error at PRT, POT, P5M, and P10M was 5.5, 1.6, 1.8,and 1.9 degrees, respectively. After 10 minutes of walking, the sagittal plane motion andfrontal plane motion was increased by 9.7 and 4.7 degrees compared with POT,respectively. the proprioception was significantly improved after the application of ankletqping. Both the restriction of frontal plane motion and proprioception improvement atthe ankle joint may contribute to ankle stability during walking.
