Effects of Kinesio Taping on Hip Abductor Muscle Strength and EMG Activity
January 27, 2021 updated by: Masood Khan, King Saud University
The Effects of Kinesio Taping on Hip Abductor Muscle Strength and EMG Activity in Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability
Athletes with chronic ankle instability tend to develop Glutei muscle weakness.
This weakness makes the lower limb prone to injuries.
Kinesio Tape (KT) may assist this muscle in performing its functions thus preventing injuries.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The aim was to study the effects of Kinesio Tape on hip abductor muscle strength and EMG activity.
Pretest-posttest experimental design was used.
The study was conducted in the research lab of the University.
Thirty-four athletes with a mean age of 22.08 years participated in the study.
For the experimental group Kinesio Tape and for the control group Micropore Tape (MT) was applied over Gluteus Medius (GM) muscle.
GM muscle's strength and EMG activity were noted in supine and during the Single-Leg Squat Test (SLST) respectively before and after the intervention.
Hip abductor muscle strength measured through a maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and GM activation measured through EMG.
Handheld dynamometer (Lafayette manual muscle test system), Power Lab EMG system.
