The Effectiveness of Kinesio® Tex Tape on Gluteus Medius Activation in Dancers
A study testing Airplane Test in people with Gluteus Medius Activation, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
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… Read more about this study

About this study
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Airplane TestOther
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

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Muscle Activity measured via electromyography (time frame: Baseline and 1.5 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2017.
