Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effects of Kinesio tape applied to the plantar soles on static and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome (DS).

Materials and methods: The study was carried out in children with DS. The participants were grouped as Kinesio Taping (KT) (n = 12, DS) and Sham Taping (ST) (n = 12, DS). The Functional Reach Test (FRT) was used to evaluate functional balance and the Fast-Timed Up and Go (FAST-TUG) test to evaluate functional balance and capacity. The Modified Clinical test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (MCTSIB) was used to evaluate static balance. For both groups, all the assessments were made three times: at baseline (T0), right after the taping application (T1), and 40-45 minutes later (T2).

Results: Baseline FAST-TUG, FRT, and Eyes Open (EO) and Closed (EC) Sway velocity scores of the KT (medians- FAST-TUG:7.75 s, FRT:23.90 cm, EO: 0.70 deg/s, EC: 0.60 deg/s) and ST (medians-FAST-TUG:7.98 s, FRT:24 cm, EO: 0.85 deg/s, EC: 0.95 deg/s) groups were similar (p >0.05). Intragroup comparisons showed that FAST-TUG and FRT scores improved after the taping compared with T0 values in both KT (KT (FAST-TUG:7.75s-FRT:23.90cm)/KT1(FAST-TUG:7.55 s-FRT:28.25cm), KT(FAST-TUG:7.75s-FRT:23.90cm)/KT2(FAST-TUG:6.85s-FRT:27.50cm)) and ST groups (ST(FAST-TUG:7.98s-FRT:24cm)/ST1(FAST-TUG:7,95s-FRT:26.40cm), ST(FAST-TUG:7.98s-FRT:24cm)/ST2(FAST-TUG:7.26s-FRT:26.15cm)) (p < 0.05), while the sway velocity values were similar before and after the taping (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: Taping on the plantar soles of children with DS may be affecting the immediate dynamic balance scores while it actually did not affect the static balance scores independent of the technique used. The interpretation of the results of this study should be made with caution. Further studies with long-term evaluations are needed.

Kinesio 胶带对唐氏综合症儿童静态和动态平衡的影响：随机对照试验。

目的：本研究旨在确定贴在足底的 Kinesio 胶带对唐氏综合症（DS）儿童静态和动态平衡的影响：研究对象为患有唐氏综合症的儿童。研究对象分为 KT 组（12 名，唐氏综合症儿童）和 ST 组（12 名，唐氏综合症儿童）。功能性前伸测试（FRT）用于评估功能性平衡，快速定时上行测试（FAST-TUG）用于评估功能性平衡和能力。改良临床平衡感觉互动测试（MCTSIB）用于评估静态平衡。两组的所有评估均分三次进行：基线（T0）、绑带刚贴上时（T1）和 40-45 分钟后（T2）：结果：KT 组（中位数--FAST-TUG：7.75 秒，FRT：23.90 厘米，EO：0.70 度/秒，EC：0.60 度/秒）和 ST 组（中位数--FAST-TUG：7.98 秒，FRT：24 厘米，EO：0.85 度/秒，EC：0.95 度/秒）的基线 FAST-TUG、FRT 以及睁眼（EO）和闭眼（EC）摇摆速度得分相似（P>0.05）。组内比较显示，与 T0 值相比，KT（KT(FAST-TUG:7.75s-FRT:23.90cm)/KT1(FAST-TUG:7.55s-FRT:28.25cm)、KT(FAST-TUG:7.75s-FRT:23.90cm）/KT2（FAST-TUG:6.85s-FRT:27.50cm））和ST组（ST（FAST-TUG:7.98s-FRT:24cm）/ST1（FAST-TUG:7,95s-FRT:26.40cm），ST（FAST-TUG:7.98s-FRT:24cm）/ST2（FAST-TUG:7.26s-FRT:26.15cm））（P P > 0.05）：结论：DS患儿足底绑带可能会影响即时动态平衡评分，但实际上并不影响静态平衡评分，与所使用的技术无关。对本研究结果的解释应谨慎。我们需要进一步开展长期评估研究。

期刊介绍： Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality papers that encompass the entire range of investigations related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and modeling thereof. Comprising anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioural, and psychophysical studies, Somatosensory & Motor Research covers all facets of the peripheral and central processes underlying cutaneous sensation, and includes studies relating to afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Studies of motor systems at all levels of the neuraxis are covered, but reports restricted to non-neural aspects of muscle generally would belong in other journals.
