The Effect of Ankle Taping on the Function of Knee

Abstract

目的：探讨踝关节贴扎后对膝关节功能的影响。方法：18名健康男女大学生(男女各9名)，使用Biodex等速测试仪，测量踝关节无贴扎、踝关节贴扎(限制內翻背屈活动范围) 2种情况下的膝关节屈伸肌相对峰力矩以及位置觉；使用量角器测量膝关节主动关节活动度。结果：踝关节进行贴扎后膝关节伸肌相对峰力矩明显高于无贴扎时(P 0.05)；膝关节位置觉2种情况下无显著性差异(P > 0.05)；膝关节主动关节活动度2种情况下无显著性差异(P > 0.05)。结论：踝关节贴扎(限制內翻背屈活动范围)可提高膝关节伸肌肌力，但对屈肌肌力、位置觉、主动关节活动度没有影响。 Objective: To investigate effects of the ankle joint after the taping on function of knee. Methods: Eighteen healthy male and female university students (9 males and 9 females) were tested with the relative peak torque of knee flexion and extensor and position sense using Biodex isokinetic testing system under the conditions of no ankle joint taping and ankle joint taping (limiting the range of varus and dorsiflexion), and the range of motion of knee joint was measured with protractor. Results: The relative peak torque of knee extensor after ankle joint taping was significantly higher than that without ankle taping (P 0.05). There was no significant difference in knee joint position sense between two cases (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in active range of motion of knee joint between two cases (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Ankle joint taping (limiting the range of flexion and varus dorsiflexion) can improve the extensor muscle strength of knee joint, but has no effect on flexor muscle strength, position sense and active joint range of motion.
