Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Compared to other protective gears, taping is more effective and convenient that enables different changes according to different joint shapes and needs.
OBJECTIVE: By comparing the effects of different types of knee joint taping on knee joint stability following sudden stop in soccer players, to provide suitable taping methods for the prevention of knee joint injury for athletes and sports performers.
METHODS: Using kinematics, kinetics and electromyography, the biomechanical parameters of sudden stop of 12 male soccer players were gained under three knee joint taping (traditional, intramuscular kinesio, and no-taping), and then analyzed using SPSS 17.0.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Horizontal peak force, the anterior and posterior displacement of center of pressure, and average horizontal loading rate in traditional and intramuscular kinesio taping groups were significantly lower than those in the non-taping group. (2) The change of knee joint angle was the least in the non-taping group, the knee joint degree at the appear time of peak power and the change value of knee joint degree in traditional and intramuscular kinesio taping groups were significantly larger than those in the non-taping group. (3) The mean electromyography amplitude of the rectus femoris and gastrocnemius in traditional and intramuscular kinesio taping groups was significantly less than that in the non-taping group. To conclude, the traditional and intramuscular kinesio taping on the knee joint can significantly improve the support ability of the lower extremities and restrict the anterior displacement of the cruciate ligament. These have a benefit on the improvement of knee joint stability.
