- Abstract
Elastic bandage is able to promote support or external support, aiding the normal function of the tissues and in the proprioception. Baropodometry is used to identify abnormalities, classify the step variations, compare results, so as to obtain the effectiveness of treatments. The objective of the study was the analysis of the immediate effects of elastic bandage in ankle immediately after static baropodometry. Type of study: Experimental: clinical trial. 25 individuals were evaluated (18 women and 7 men) by means of static tests (1 without elastic bandage; 2. after 10 min with the elastic bandage on bipodal stance, at the baropodometer. It was applied at the ankle of the dominant lower limb the elastic bandage (Therapy Taping ® method),from one malleolus to another, passing by the plantar surface of the foot, at maximum tension in order to promote greater joint stability. Variables: middle pressure (PM) and maximum (PMa) (Kpa) and surface area (SA) (cm²), in addition to the pressures in the retro foot and fore foot were analyzed. Data were normalized by the Shapiro Wilk test, followed by the t-student test for a p=0.05 in comparing pre and post immediate intervention in SPSS. Mean height was 1.67 ± 0.87, the weight was 65.08±11.32 and BMI 23.16±02.96. Among the variables analyzed, there was significant difference in PMa in the left foot (which received no intervention) (p=0.000) and in the fore right foot (which received intervention) (p=0.025), in the other items there was no difference. Elastic bandage for the ankle stabilization is able to change the distribution of plantar pressure immediately after its application.
