Activities of Upper Limb Muscles Related to the Direction of Elastic Tape Application in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Trial of Parallel-Aligned Versus Cross-Aligned Tape Application

Activities of Upper Limb Muscles Related to the Direction of Elastic Tape Application in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Trial of Parallel-Aligned Versus Cross-Aligned Tape Application

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in electromyographic (EMG) activities of upper limb muscles between cross- and parallel-aligned taping and to compare the effects of these 2 taping methods in healthy adults. Thirty subjects, who volunteered for this study, were tested under...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in electromyographic (EMG) activities of upper limb muscles between cross- and parallel-aligned taping and to compare the effects of these 2 taping methods in healthy adults. Thirty subjects, who volunteered for this study, were tested under 3 taping conditions in random order: (1) no taping, (2) cross-aligned taping, and (3) parallel-aligned taping. EMG activities of the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, flexor carpi ulnaris, and extensor carpi radialis muscles were measured. All muscles showed significant differences in EMG activity among the 3 conditions (p
