The Effectiveness of Kinesio® Tex Tape on Gluteus Medius Activation in Dancers
December 12, 2017 updated by: NYU Langone Health
The purpose of this research is to determine if a specific type of elasticated athletic tape (Kinesio Tex Tape) increases muscle activation among professional level dancers.
Investigators will determine if changes in muscle activation with the elasticated tape differ from changes experienced with no tape and/or sham tape, and if it coincides with subjective sense of muscle activation.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: K Tape Group
|
The airplane test requires the subject to bend forward, bringing the upper body and one leg horizontal, making a "T" position with the body with the arms out to the sides while in single-leg stance; they then bend the supporting leg, bringing the finger tips towards the floor, followed by straightening the supporting leg and bringing the arms back out to the sides.
This motion is repeated five times on each leg per trial.
The airplane will be performed to a metronome to standardize performance time

Active Comparator: Sham Group
