【 摘 要 】

This study investigated two different arch taping techniques in the treatment of athleteswith medial tibia1 stress syndrome (MTSS). Peak force (PF), surface contact area (SCA).surface electromyography (EMG) at peak and average were analyzed in 8 college aged Ss(5 F, 3 M) during untaped (NT), traditional arch taped (TAT), and experimental archtaped (XAT) walking and running. A foot switch was used to mark time to analyze peakEMG and average EMG during midstance for the tibialis anterior (TA). The EMED SFsystem was used to collect force and surface area data at 70 Hz. Novel software was usedto analyze the data. Statistical analysis using repeated measures ANOVA and aBonferroni;;s post hoc indicated there were no significant differences between conditionsfor walking. Mean PF on the medial aspect of the middle 1/3 of the foot in the TATcondition was significantly (p<_0.05) greater than the NT condition during running. Themean SCA of the lateral aspect of the middle 1/3 of the foot was significantly less in theTAT than the other conditions. Trends in the data, indicated that in running there was asimilar shift of PF and SCA to the lateral aspect of the foot in the XAT condition. Inwalking, muscle activity of the tibialis anterior (TA) was greatest in the XAT condition,which may be interpreted as a shift of muscle activity from the TA to the tibialisposterior. The data may support the use of the XAT over the TAT to relieve MTSS, dueto the unfavorable results for the TAT condition.
