About this study
Official title: The Determination of Relationship Between Kinesiotaping and Contralateral Force Irradiation
The study is assessed the electromyographic activity response of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle during unilateral-dominant concentric, eccentric and isometric biceps brachii muscle contractions under kinesiotaping and non-taping conditions. The aim of the study is to determine the synergistic effect of kinesiotaping which is applied on non-dominant biceps brachii muscle on force irradiation.
Read the detailed description
Fourty healthy subjects with no history of neurological or recent musculoskeletal injury will participate the study.
Healthy subjects are arranged in two groups of stimulation: kinesiotaping group (kinesiotaping and force irradiation) and control group (only force irradiation). The electromyographic response of the resting arm (non-dominant) will be assessed during the dominant arm movement for all subjects. Additionally, in kinesiotaping group, kinesiotaping will be applied 24 hours before the experiment.
The electromyographic response of the resting arm will be assessed under three contraction type movement (isometric, eccentric and concentric contractions) The SEMG signals are analysed by using MATLAB®, suitable signal proccessing techniques (linear envelope, Root Mean Square etc) are chosed. The statistical analysis are done by using SPSS®, according to data distribution, "Independent Sample T Test" or "Mann-Whitney U Test" is utilized for comparing outcomes of control and KT groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Force IrradiationOther
For the force irradiation, while the subjects perform dominant elbow flexion at an angular velocity of 60°/s for concentric contractions, 30°/s for eccentric contractions, at 90° elbow flexion position for isometric contractions with a maximal effort level, electrical activity of the non-dominant biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles are recorded.
KinesiotapingOther
Also called Force Irradiation
For kinesiotaping, the elbow positioned in 30°-45° flexion and kinesiotaping facilitation technique is applied origin to insertion of non-dominant biceps brachii muscle before 24 hours the experiment.

|---|---|---|
| Kinesiotaping Group | Experimental | The group in which kinesiotaping is applied to non-dominant biceps brachii muscle of participants before 24 hours the force irradiation experiment. Receives: Other: Force Irradiation; Other: Kinesiotaping |
| Control group | Active comparator | The group in which the participants only perform the the force irradiation experiment. Receives: Other: Force Irradiation |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Force Irradiation and Kinesiotaping in people with Healthy, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Measurement of the surface electromyographic activity of left biceps brachii muscle by using surface electromyography device while the right elbow performs isometric elbow flexion (time frame: after inclusion). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Sep 2018.
