Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of Dynamic tape on cervical and thoracic region posture in asymptomatic male individuals.

Detailed Description

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

Fifty-one asymptomatic individuals between the ages of 18 and 32 years were included in the study. The participants in this study were randomised into two groups, named "Dynamic Taping" (mean age± sd: 23.28±3.41 yrs, n=25) and "Sham Taping" (mean age± sd: 25.15±4.13 yrs, n=26). In the Dynamic taping group, tapes were applied with optimal stretching, while in the Sham taping group, tapes were applied without any stretch. All measurements were done before taping and 30 minutes after taping. Craniovertebral, cranio-horizontal and sagittal shoulder angles were calculated with photographic posture analysis, while thoracic kyphosis was evaluated with a digital inclinometer (JTech IQ Pro™, ABD).

Dynamic tape on experimental group

As a result of randomization, dynamic tape was applied to 25 people with a special technique.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dynamic tape on experimental group

Intervention Type OTHER

The dynamic taping application was carried out in 2 stages. Three "I"-shaped tapes were cut. In the first stage, the person was asked to perform scapular retraction, and in this position, the tape was placed by applying medium tension to the anterior part of the other deltoid muscle, passing from the anterior part of the deltoid muscle to the upper thoracic region. In the second stage, the participant was asked to do scapular retraction and depression, and while maintaining this position, medium tension was applied to the lower thoracic vertebra starting from the anterior part of the deltoid muscle and the acromion and tape was applied. Afterward, this process was applied on the other side

Sham tape on placebo group

As a result of randomization, dynamic tape was applied to 26people with a sham technique.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Sham tape on placebo group

Intervention Type OTHER

Sham taping was performed in 2 stages. Three "I"-shaped tapes were cut. Participants were asked to stand in the comfortable position they used during the day. The first tape was adhered from the starting point of the spine of the scapula with the acromion to the junction of the spine of the scapula and the acromion on the other side without any tension. The other two tapes, starting from the beginning and ending points of the first tape, were adhered to the lower thoracic region without any tension
