The Mechanical Effect of Anterior Pelvic Tilt Taping on Slump Sitting by Seated Workers

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine whether there is a change in the pelvic inclination after about 30 min of slump sitting by seated workers, and if so, to determine whether these changes can be prevented by the application of anterior pelvic tilt taping (APTT). The subjects who consented to participate in the experiment were randomly allocated to two groups: no-APTT group and APTT group. The no-APTT group performed slump sitting for 30 min, and the both pelvic inclinations were remeasured. In the APTT group, the both pelvic inclinations were measured immediately after the application of the APTT, and then again after 30 min of slump sitting. The both pelvic inclinations in the no-APTT group were significantly decreased (p<0.05) after they returned to the upright standing posture. The both pelvic inclinations in the APTT group were significantly increased immediately after the APTT (p<0.05), and this increase was maintained when returning to the upright standing posture after 30 min of slump sitting (p>0.05). We suggest that APTT can be applied as an auxiliary treatment method for preventing changes in pelvic inclination and musculoskeletal problems of low back area by awkward sitting posture in the seated worker.

Immediate effects of ankle eversion taping on dynamic and static balance of chronic stroke patients with foot drop

“…Han et al13 ) reported a mechanical effect of using a kinesiology tape on a rounded shoulder posture. Lee et al14 ) demonstrated that a change in the pelvic angle can be caused by applying the Anterior Pelvic Tilt Taping (APTT), a mechanical method, to the slump sitting of the workers who work sitting for a long time. Another mechanism can be described as a methodological part of the AET.…”

Effects of Kinesiology Taping on Repositioning Error of the Knee Joint after Quadriceps Muscle Fatigue

“…Previous studies have shown the effects of kinesiology taping on pain control10, 11 ) , joint support12, 13 ) , and muscle function14, 15 ) . Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether kinesiology taping decreases the repositioning error of the knee joint after quadriceps fatigue and ultimately confirm if kinesiology taping can improve joint position sense.…”

Efeito Da Bandagem Elástica No Posicionamento Da Pelve Com Inclinação Posterior

“…Contribuindo, Karatas et al 28 citam que o efeito fisiológico da bandagem é normalmente visto 72 horas após a aplicação. Entretanto, em um estudo de Lee e Yoo 29 que utilizou a bandagem funcional para buscar a inclinação anterior da pelve, foi verificado efeito imediato após, ocorrido apenas com 30 minutos de intervenção, corroborando com os achados encontrados no presente estudo. Porém, houve pouca alteração nos achados no período do pré-imediato ao pós-72h.…”
