- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine upper extremity functions, endurance, and strength of young handball players of two different taping of J. McConnell and B. Mulligan, since it's possible that taping is closely related to the joint kinematics and may alter extremity functions, endurance and muscle power. Methods: Study included 16 women (age= 16.3±0.6 years, arm length=87.4±3.1cm) selected for Turkey Star National Handball team. Demographic information, dominant arm length and pain assessment were recorded. First, Y-balance test, shot put test (TKSF) and push-up test were applied to the dominant arm. Mulligan technique and McConnell technique was applied to the one of the groups and then same tests were recorded. Results: In this study, a significant increase in the Y-balance scores of only superolateral side of the Mulligan taping athletes in the test measured before and after taping occurred (p =0.01). In the McConnell taping, only the inferolateral Ybalance scores decreased significantly (p=0.04). The change between the initial measurements and the post-tapping measurements of TKSF and push-up tests wasn't statistically significant in both tapping techniques (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed that Mulligan and McConnell taping had effects on shoulder function and stability assessed by Y-balance test but not on upper extremity strength and endurance evaluated by TKSF and push-up tests. In this respect, clarifying the kinematic mechanism of the taping, kinematic variation of that shoulder taping provides may be helpful in planning special rehabilitation program in the clinical practice.
