The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of taping therapy on muscle activities between the group of taping therapy treatment and control group before or after exercises. The subjects are 18 S college's healthy male students who do not have any problems in the legs and could bend the knee joint normally. Considering physique, condition of health and capacity for locomotion, 3 groups of each 6 persons for the experimentation were classified. Three groups composed of control group without taping therapy treatment for control group, group I with taping therapy treatment only before the experimentation and group II with taping therapy treatment during 24 hour. before and after the experimentation. EMG MP150 was used to evaluate the parameter of the lower leg's muscle activities the exercise before 5 min. after 10 min. and after 24 hour. for the experimentation. Compared with control group, group I and group II had more increased muscle activities in vastus lateralis and rectus femoris and was statistically significant. And group I and group II also had more increase in muscle activities than control group in vastus medialis, although there was no statistically significant. We found that taping therapy increased muscle activity positively. The application of taping therapy could be used not only for preventive effects for sports man but also therapeutic effects for general people.

This study was executed in order utilized five typical taping therapy spending on upper limb end part, and to grasp an influence on shoulder pain of upper limb part among spiral balance taping therapy of Danaca. This study was performed at Physical therapy Dept. of Gyeongbuk H orthopedics until 2005 November 4 from 2005 October 4th. This study appealed for a shoulder pain, and visited all 25(15 Non capsular lesions, 10 capsular lesions) patients to the objects. We executed study to the objects to a patient to agree with us after explaining a purpose and object of this study. Urged warning, and all executed eight times over about the patient who executed taping therapy for five weeks so as not to be able to get other therapy treatment. Application way of taping therapy applied all once at random generally five taping therapy to apply to limbs end of upper at clinical so far. Operated on the results about pain decrease, and we calculated as compared before and after five taping therapy. Also, operated again on them in a taping therapy judged that there was pain decrease, and we returned them to home. We make a comparative analysis for a pain after and before a treatment as we use the VAS which is evaluation of a pain in this study. The results of this study are as follows. Appeared so as operated, and a pain decrease change of Non capsular lesions became lower with a the average of 2.3 after a taping therapy in the average of 6.4s former a treatment, and to note statistically later Taping therapy of upper limb end part.(P<0.01). The pain decrease change of capsular lesions of a shoulder joint pain index decreased with the average of 4.0 after a taping therapy treatment in the average of 6.0 former a treatment after Taping therapy of upper limb end part, but were not able to note statistically.(P>0.05) Taping therapy of upper limb end part is positive to pain decrease of shoulder joint in the above-mentioned study can affect, and can especially get the effective conclusion that was able to affect from pain decrease of Non capsular lesions.

Objective: There are many cases of applying various taping methods to prevent muscle damage and to assist with movement. The purpose of this study was to investigate and to compare the effects of dynamic taping on joint position sense and to find out the difference in error values during various degrees of shoulder flexion. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 20 subjects participated in this study with a randomized cross-over design. The order of taping was adjusted by randomly proceeding with dynamic taping, sham taping, and no taping. After the taping, the proprioception of the shoulder joint was evaluated. The evaluation of proprioceptive sensation was performed by evaluating joint position sensation. The sequence was adjusted by randomly performing joint position tests at each shoulder flexion of 50, 90, and 110 degrees. All angles were repeated 3 times. Results: There was a significant difference between dynamic taping and no taping in 50 degrees of shoulder flexion. There was a significant difference between sham taping and no taping in 90 degrees of shoulder flexion (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in 110 degrees of shoulder flexion. Conclusions: In this study, it was confirmed that dynamic taping is effective in improving the joint position sense in 50 degrees of shoulder flexion. In the future, it is expected that further studies will be conducted on patients with shoulder dysfunction with decreased proprioception.
