Comparison of Gastrocnemius Kinesio Taping on Viscoelastic Characteristics and Performance of Musculoskeletal System during Vertical Jump Before and After Fatigue in Healthy Subjects Using Mass-Spring-Damper Model
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of kinesio tape on viscoelastic characteristics and performance of musculoskeletal system during vertical jump before and after fatigue in healthy subjects. In this study the kinesio tape will be applied on gastrocnemius muscle. This study is randomized non blinded clinical trial. Two groups of healthy men and women aged 18 to 35 years (25 subjects in each group) with no history of surgery or lasting injury or pain in the lower extremities during the test will participate in this study. All subjects will vertically jump in two conditions of before fatigue (with and without kinesio tape) and after (with and without kinesio tape) on the force plate. All of these steps will be conducted in a single session. The fatigue protocol of this study will include 5 sets of heel rise with active rest between each set. Finally different variables related to the jump performance and musculoskeletal viscoelasticity will be calculated through the analysis of the vertical component of ground reaction force and the mass-spring-damper model (mathematics calculation).
