Abstract des Autors
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the changes of the perceived area of tape contact during a lumbar tape application that lasted 7 days. Design: Single group, repeated measures study. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: Twenty-three healthy collegiate students in sports science. Main outcome measures: Perceived area of tape contact was collected by preparing a drawing of their individual perceived tape outline into a printed body image. Measurements were obtained immediately after fixation of the tape (day 0), at day 3 and day 7 during application and 5 min after the release of the application (day 7). Results: There was no significant change of the perceived area of tape contact after 3 days of tape application. A significant decrease in the perceived area of tape contact was detected 7 days after application (p < 0.05) and after detaching the tape (p < 0.01) compared to the first measurement. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the perception of the area of tape contact of healthy sport students is decreased at 7 days. This effect could not be observed at 3 days. These results provide relevant information for the use of elastic tapes concerning the duration of application in medical therapy.
