About this study
This study perform to investigate the immediate effects of kinesiotaping and plasebo kinesiotaping on Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) angle and functional performance scores of wrist in healthy subjects.
Read the detailed description
Kinesiotape which created by Kenzo Kase in 1976, is a thin and elastic taping material similar to the structural properties and flexibility of human skin without limiting joint movements. In this study, kinesiotape will apply to the wrist extensor and flexor muscles using the functional correction and muscle facilitation techniques. Also placebo taping will apply on the same muscles with same kinesiotape without any stretching or positioning. A total of 4 applications including kinesiotaping and placebo taping will perform randomly in 4 consecutive days.
For each subject; A total of 5 separate evaluations will perform on the first day (without taping) and following 4 consecutive days (flexor carpi ulnaris muscle kinesiotaping, extensor carpi radialis muscle kinesiotaping, flexor carpi ulnaris muscle placebo kinesiotaping, extensor carpi radialis muscle placebo kinesiotaping). Between the taping and evaluation of the subjects will wait for 30 minutes.
There are several studies evaluating wrist movements performed in one plane with different methods. The Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) is the most commonly used wrist pattern in daily life and includes the entire oblique movement from radial extension to ulnar flexion.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on the kinematics and functional performance of healthy wrist. This study will be prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled and crossover.
We did not find any study including fascia correction kinesiotaping for DTM pattern.
The therapists who works in this area will have an advantage in the rehabilitation programs to know the effects of the muscle facilitation and fascia correction techniques kinesiotaping on wrist kinematics via DTM and wrist functional performance.
Also, we believe that our study will guide different professional groups working on technological rehabilitation with measurement techniques and evaluation methods.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
KinesiotapingOther
Kinesio tape (KT) is the original elastic adhesive tape for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. Kinesio Tape is latex-free, hypoallergenic and wearable for days at a time. It has been shown to be clinically effective in joint range of motion promotion,increasing muscle activity and functional performance.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Change of wrist range of motion. (time frame: Change of wrist DTM from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03788954, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Jun 2019.
