About this study
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of dynamic tape in prevent shoulder muscle fatigue.
Read the detailed description
After being informed about the study and the potential of risk, all participants will undergo a screening to determine eligibility for study entry and giving written informed consent.
We will include 20 participants who have pitch 100 times with dynamic taping or shame taping in randomized sequence. There must be more than 2 weeks resting between 2 test. We will test maximal force in shoulder flexion, extension, abduction and adduction before and after test. We also record spins and speed of baseball for performance outcome.
To our hypothesis, we suggest dynamic taping could decrease the arm fatigue after long-term pitching.
- Conditions
- Fatigue; Muscle, Heart, Shoulder Pain, Sport Injury
- Being tested
- Sham tape, Dynamic tape
- Medical subject headings
- Fatigue, Shoulder Pain
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Sham tapeDevice
Use sham type on the pitching shoulder
Dynamic tapeDevice
Use dynamic type on the pitching shoulder for supporting internal rotation
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sham tape | Sham comparator | participants received sham taping during pitching, and removed after pitching Receives: Device: Sham tape |
| Dynamic tape | Experimental | participants received dynamic taping during pitching, and removed after pitching Receives: Device: Dynamic tape |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in shoulder force after pitching
The dynamometer is a validated instrument assessing shoulder and arm force which is recorded in kilogram
Measured: baseline and 2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change of pitching velocity during pitching
The speed dun is a validated instrument assessing pitching velocity which is recorded in kilometer per hour
Measured: baseline and 2 weeks
Change of pitching spin rate during pitching
The STRIKE baseball is a new instrument assessing pitching spin rate and axis which is recorded in rate per minute
Measured: baseline and 2 weeks
Change of delayed onset muscle soreness after pitching
Visual analog scale is a validated self-record measure to assess delayed onset muscle soreness, which score range is 0 to 10.
Measured: baseline, 1 Day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 14 days
