Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is assessed the electromyographic activity response of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle during unilateral-dominant concentric, eccentric and isometric biceps brachii muscle contractions under kinesiotaping and non-taping conditions. The aim of the study is to determine the synergistic effect of kinesiotaping which is applied on non-dominant biceps brachii muscle on force irradiation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Fourty healthy subjects with no history of neurological or recent musculoskeletal injury will participate the study.

Healthy subjects are arranged in two groups of stimulation: kinesiotaping group (kinesiotaping and force irradiation) and control group (only force irradiation). The electromyographic response of the resting arm (non-dominant) will be assessed during the dominant arm movement for all subjects. Additionally, in kinesiotaping group, kinesiotaping will be applied 24 hours before the experiment.

The electromyographic response of the resting arm will be assessed under three contraction type movement (isometric, eccentric and concentric contractions) The SEMG signals are analysed by using MATLAB®, suitable signal proccessing techniques (linear envelope, Root Mean Square etc) are chosed. The statistical analysis are done by using SPSS®, according to data distribution, "Independent Sample T Test" or "Mann-Whitney U Test" is utilized for comparing outcomes of control and KT groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Kinesiotaping Group

The group in which kinesiotaping is applied to non-dominant biceps brachii muscle of participants before 24 hours the force irradiation experiment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Force Irradiation

Intervention Type OTHER

For the force irradiation, while the subjects perform dominant elbow flexion at an angular velocity of 60°/s for concentric contractions, 30°/s for eccentric contractions, at 90° elbow flexion position for isometric contractions with a maximal effort level, electrical activity of the non-dominant biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles are recorded.

Kinesiotaping

Intervention Type OTHER

For kinesiotaping, the elbow positioned in 30°-45° flexion and kinesiotaping facilitation technique is applied origin to insertion of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle before 24 hours the experiment.

Control group

The group in which the participants only perform the the force irradiation experiment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Force Irradiation

Intervention Type OTHER

For the force irradiation, while the subjects perform dominant elbow flexion at an angular velocity of 60°/s for concentric contractions, 30°/s for eccentric contractions, at 90° elbow flexion position for isometric contractions with a maximal effort level, electrical activity of the non-dominant biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles are recorded.
