Prospective study with a basic crossover design.
Background: Maintaining joint and postural stability relies heavily on proprioception. Within these components, dynamic stability is highlighted in particular. In the realm of rehabilitation, this feature is critical. As a result, looking for items to improve these characteristics can provide benefits in sports. The Star Excursion Balance Test is designed to assess lower extremity stability, rehabilitation progress, and injury-related deficits in order to identify athletes who are at a higher risk of future injuries.
Objectives: Determine whether Kinesio taping improves the performance of a Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).
Methods: Ten professional soccer players from Chile's women's national team were evaluated. They were divided into two groups at random. Kinesio taping was applied to one group, and their SEBT performance was assessed. The measurements were taken by the other group without the use of Kinesio Taping. Following that, each group completed the evaluation that they had not completed during the previous round. The performance attained with and without Kinesio Taping was then compared.
Results: There were substantial variations in performance between the players who used the SEBT bandage and those who did not. The non-parametric Wilcox test was used to check this for each of the SEBT positions.
Conclusions: Kinesio taping has been found to be beneficial in the SEBT. We can deduce that its application will improve dynamic balance, making it an important pillar in sports recovery.Author(S) Details
