Abstract

It is known, among the elderly population, the decrease in functional capacity to perform daily free-living activities, with the occurrence of falls quite frequently. The muscular component must be prepared for a better performance in motor tasks, reason why the application of Kinesio Taping™ band appears as an intervention to consider, so the aim of this study is to analyze the effect of the Kinesio Taping™ method on the balance of a senior group. A sample of 28 subjects was divided into 2 groups: a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). The balance was assessed using two scales: The Time-UP & Go Test (TUG) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). At first, individuals from both groups were assessed using both Scales. Subsequently, to the individuals belonging to EG, the Kinesio Taping™ method was applied (KT™), in the anterior tibial and peroneal in both lower limbs in CG KT™ was applied as a placebo. A day later, in a second visit, the performance of both groups was again evaluated using the mentioned scales. In CG, no statistically significant differences were observed in between testing days, (TUG day 1 vs TUG day 2: p = 0.842); (BBS day 1 vs BBS day 2: p = 0.157). On the other hand, statistically significant differences were observed in the experimental group, where TUG performance was faster after KT™ (p = 0.001) and BBS was higher (p = 0.002). The results demonstrate that the Kinesio Taping™ application had positive effects on balance and these results could help the prevention of falls in the elderly.
动感胶带的效果™ 论老年人的平衡
众所周知,在老年人中,进行日常自由生活活动的功能能力下降,经常发生跌倒。肌肉成分必须准备在运动任务中有更好的表现,这就是为什么应用Kinesio tapingtm带作为一种干预措施来考虑的原因,所以本研究的目的是分析Kinesio tapingtm方法对老年人平衡的影响。将28例受试者分为两组:对照组(CG)和实验组(EG)。使用两种量表进行平衡评估:Time-UP & Go Test (TUG)和Berg balance Scale (BBS)。首先,使用两种量表对两组的个体进行评估。随后,对于属于EG的个体,在两条下肢的胫骨前和腓骨处应用Kinesio Taping™方法(KT™),在CG中使用KT™作为安慰剂。一天后,在第二次访问中,两组的表现再次使用上述量表进行评估。在CG方面,各测试天之间无统计学差异(TUG第1天vs TUG第2天:p = 0.842);(BBS第1天vs BBS第2天:p = 0.157)。另一方面,实验组之间的差异有统计学意义,KT™后TUG表现更快(p = 0.001), BBS表现更高(p = 0.002)。结果表明,kineio Taping™应用对平衡有积极的影响,这些结果可以帮助预防老年人跌倒。
