“…Overhead athletes and other 44 professionals that require use of the arm in a predominant overhead position are at a 45 high risk of developing associated shoulder pains and injuries. A number of studies 46 have reported high prevalence of shoulder pain and injury in swimmers [Lo et al,47 1990, Rupp et al, 1995, Su et al, 2004, tennis players [Cools et al, 2008], baseball 48 players [Hsu et al, 2009] and other overhead throwing athletes [Laudner et al, 2006, 49 Lo et al, 1990, Wilk et al, 2002. Shoulder impingement accounts for the majority of 50 the reported complaints [Michener et al, 2003].…”

“…The locator was used by an experienced observer to obtain a continuous measure of presented in the literature [Ackermann et al, 2002, Hsu et al, 2009 2005, Thelen et al, 2008]. Given that the objective of this study was to investigate 155 whether taping affects scapular kinematics, a taping technique that was specifically 156 developed to correct the scapular position has been employed.…”

“…The KT's ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system was corroborated in a study conducted on the effects of taping on scapular kinematics and muscle strength. [18] The results in this study showed that taping was successful in creating positive changes in scapular motion and muscle strength. According to the hypothesis for the present study, participants who improved most in their hip abduction strength after the KT application should also have shown a concurrent improvement in the other variables tested, namely, the x-factor, ball flight distance and accuracy.…”

Background. The kinesio-taping method, which is becoming increasingly popular, may provide support and stability to joints and muscles without inhibiting range of motion. Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of kinesio-taping of the gluteus medius muscle on x-factor (torsopelvic separation), ball flight distance and accuracy (smash factor ratio). A specific aim was to determine whether a correlation exists between hip abduction strength and x-factor, ball distance and accuracy. Methods. This study is a one group pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design which took place at a golf facility. Twentynine amateur golfers with handicap of scratch ±2, who were between the ages of 18- and 25-years, participated in this study. Biomechanical outcomes were recorded with and without kinesio-tape applied on the gluteus medius muscle of the trail leg. Biomechanical golf swing analysis with the iClub™ Body Motion System determined the x-factor at the top of the backswing. Ball flight distance and accuracy were measured with FlightScope® and dominant hip abduction strength was measured with the MicroFET Hand-held Dynamometer. Results. Kinesio-tape is effective in improving the relative hip abduction strength (p<0.001), although the effect size was small (Cohen’s d=0.24). With regard to the biomechanical outcome measures, namely x-factor (p=0.28), ball flight distance (p=0.53) and accuracy (p=0.1), there was no significant improvement. Conclusion: Even though the relative hip abduction strength was improved, there was no effect on golf swing biomechanics. This can be explained due to the fact that x-factor, ball flight distance and accuracy are dependent on a combination of body movements to produce the golf swing. Keywords. Golf, X-factor, pelvic stability, taping

“…3,24,27 With the patient supine and the left knee supported in 5°to 10°of flexion, 3 repetitions of mechanically assisted adjusting techniques were applied to each of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral articulations in a lateral to medial direction (as determined by dynamic palpation). Normal zinc oxide sports tape was applied to the patient's left anteromedial quadriceps, in line with the fibers of the VMO, to assist facilitation [33][34][35][36] of the atrophied and weakened musculature (Fig 5). The patient was advised to perform isometric VMO exercises for periods up to 30 seconds, in conjunction with the facilitaping (Fig 6A, B).…”

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe and discuss the clinical diagnosis of a medial meniscus tear in an older patient using a multimodal management approach provided by a chiropractor. Clinical Features: A 60-year-old woman reported to a chiropractic clinic with left knee pain and swelling. The history and physical examination findings suggested a medial meniscus tear, which was confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging. Intervention and Outcome: Treatment consisted of therapeutic ultrasound; rest, ice, compression, and elevation protocol; soft tissue therapy using effleurage and lymphatic drainage; chiropractic mechanically assisted adjusting techniques to the left knee using a handheld mechanical thrusting instrument; sports taping applied to assist facilitation of the vastus medialis obliquus; and a specific rehabilitation program aimed at strengthening this musculature. The patient's pain was assessed using a quadruple numeric pain scale. Function of the left knee was examined using McMurray, Apley, and a variation of Helfet orthopedic tests, as well as joint line tenderness. Monitoring was done at the initial consultation and at the sixth and 12th treatments. The patient reported being able to walk, swim, and ride a bicycle asymptomatically. Her pain score at the concluding visit was 16.7%, indicating low-intensity pain. Conclusion: This case indicated that conservative management of a meniscus tear through a chiropractic multimodal treatment approach provided an alternative or adjunctive therapy to routine orthopedic surgery for this patient.
