Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the splint and rigid taping on the muscle activation of the upper trapezius muscle during computer typing tasks in office workers.

The study will be conducted on 10 healthy office workers. The study subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes (1) without splint or taping, (2) with a splint and (3) with rigid taping which limits the wrist flexion at the dominant side. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.

Conditions

  • Work-Related Condition

Interventions

OTHER

Rigid Taping

Rigid taping in the neutral position will be performed to allow pronation, supination, and extension of the wrist while limiting the flexion and deviation.

OTHER

Wrist Splint

Neutral position and volar supported wrist orthosis which limits the flexion and deviation while allowing pronation, supination, and extension of the wrist.
