Summary

This study aims to determine the effect of combined facilitatory Kinesiology and inhibitory Kinesiology taping on balance and ROM in university students with calf tightness. This study will also compare Inhibitory kinesiology taping on calf muscles with combined Inhibitory and Facilitatory kinesiology taping on tight Calf and weak Tibialis anterior respectively This randomized clinical trial will include 20 university students with calf tightness according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be assessed by using silfverskiold test for calf tightness and star excursion test for dynamic balance. Baseline measurements will be documented and the subjects will be randomly assigned to two interventions by Goldfish Bowl randomization method: Facilitatory kinesiology taping on calf muscles (Intervention 1 or group A) and Inhibitory kinesiology taping on calf Muscles combined with Facilitatory kinesiology taping on Tibialis Anterior (Intervention 2 or group B). Immediate effects of taping on balance will be assessed after 20 minutes. After that follow up will be maintained and participants will be assessed again after 72 hours. At the end, these measurements will be documented and compared with baseline readings. And changes will be noted down. The data will be entered and analyzed using SPSS 25.

Conditions

  • Calf Muscle Pulled

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesiology taping

Kinesiology tape is an elastic tape applied to skin with specific amount of tension as per requirement. The underlying mechanism investigated by several studies is the space enhancement and skin uplifting that increases the blood flow in the targeted area and promotes healing.
