The effects of the Posterior X Taping versus augmented feedback on lower‐extremity kinematic and muscle activity pattern during unilateral weight‐bearing activities in men with tibiofemoral varus malalignment
Abstract Purpose Tibiofemoral Varus Malalignment (TFRV) contributes to overuse injuries by altering lower limb biomechanics. Both Posterior X Taping (PXT) and Real Time Feedback (RTF), have each been recommended for subjects with TFRV as they are thought to enhance control of excessive tibiofemoral...

| description | Abstract Purpose Tibiofemoral Varus Malalignment (TFRV) contributes to overuse injuries by altering lower limb biomechanics. Both Posterior X Taping (PXT) and Real Time Feedback (RTF), have each been recommended for subjects with TFRV as they are thought to enhance control of excessive tibiofemoral rotations. This paper evaluates this claim. Methods A total of recreational male 24 athletes with TFRV participated in the current study. Kinematic and electromyography variables of lower extremity were synchronously recorded on five consecutive repetitions of the single‐legged‐squat (SLS) and forward‐step‐down) FSD) tasks before and after applications of PXT and RTF. Results The subjects at post‐intervention in RTF group exhibited decreased hip adduction during FSD, and decreased hip adduction and internal rotation during eccentric and concentric phases of the SLS; Additionally, we observed increased gluteus medius activity during eccentric phase of the SLS and FSD tasks. In contrast, subjects at the post‐intervention in PXT group exhibited decreased tibiofemoral external rotation and increased ankle external rotation during all the phases of both SLS and FSD tasks. Conclusion These results suggest that the PXT and RTF interventions are recommended to immediately improve the functional defects of the subjects with TFRV during SLS and FSD tasks. |
