- Abstract
Analysis of the distribution of plantar pressures reveals the ability of static overload of anatomical structures/areas of the foot and provides information about its function and postural control. Elastic bandage in turn, promotes external support for the body structures, such as the muscles, ligaments, being capable of improving its functions. The goal was to report acute effect of elastic bandage on plantar pressure distribution in healthy young adults. Type of study: Experimental: clinical trial. The sample was composed of 18 individuals (13 women and 5 men), young adults (between 18 and 27 years old) subjected to static tests (1 without elastic bandage; 2. after 10 min with the elastic bandage) on bipodal stance, at the baropodometer. Elastic bandage (Therapy Taping ® method) was applied to the ankle of the right lower limb, from one malleolus to another, passing by the plantar surface of the foot, at maximum tension to promote greater joint stability. Variables: middle pressure (PM) and maximum (PMa) (Kpa) and surface area (SA) (cm?) were analyzed, in addition to the pressures in the retro foot and fore foot. 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. There was a significant difference in the right AS (p=0.039) and in the ante right foot (p=0.025), IN the other items there was no difference. Elastic bandage int the ankle is capable of changing the distribution of plantar pressure 48 hours after its application.
