Abstract

Background: Balance is a key factor in performing daily activities and the quadriceps muscle plays an important role in regaining balance following imbalance. Quadriceps fatigue may cause disruption in sending proprioception signals to the central nervous system and may, ultimately, lead to motor dysfunction and increased fluctuating dynamic and static balance which is followed by an increased risk of falling. Based on conclusions from previous studies it is proposed that kinesiotaping (KT) might be effective in the reduction of muscle fatigue and eventually balance. Objective: To investigate the effect of quadriceps KT on the dynamic balance of young healthy non-athlete women following local fatigue. Design: A Single-blind parallel randomized clinical trial. Method: 28 healthy women aged from 18 to 30 years were selected using the convenience sampling method. They were thoroughly evaluated with regard to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into two groups of kinesiotaping (n = 14) and non-tape (n = 14) using coin tossing. Balance measurement was performed on both groups before and after fatigue using the Y balance test. Both groups performed the fatigue protocol, but only the KT group was taped. Results: Results demonstrated that, the mean of normalized reach distances at anterior (KT: 1.014 ± 0.073, non-tape: 0.964 ± 0.097), posteromedial (KT: 0.816 ± 0.125, non-tape: 0.809 ± 0.076) and posterolateral (KT: 0.794 ± 0.102, non-tape: 0.753 ± 0.093) directions in the Y balance test had no significant difference between both groups after fatigue (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings indicated no significant effect of quadriceps KT on the dynamic balance of young healthy women after fatigue. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
