“…The mean onset times for Peroneus Brevis were also similar to the ones reported by Benesch, Putz, Rosenbaum, & Becker, 2000. Measuring peroneal reaction times in sudden inversion movements have been shown to be reliable (Benesch et al, 2000;Eechaute, Vaes, Duquet, & Gheluwe, 2007;Lynch, Eklund, Gottlieb, Renstrom, & Beynnon, 1996) and are commonly used as a procedure for assessment of proprioceptive abilities (Benesch et al, 2000;Konradsen et al, 1997;Lofvenberg et al, 1995;Sheth et al, 1997).…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: Balance training is often employed for the prevention of ankle injuries. However, until now, most of the studies have focused on the prevention of a recurrent injury. The objective of this study was to look into the effects of balance training on the onset of peroneal muscle activity in healthy subjects. Methods: 34 participants (mean age ¼ 19.5 years AE 1.5; height ¼ 1.70 m AE 0.12; weight ¼ 62.06 kg AE 11.24), physically active, with no history of injuries took part in this study. The participants underwent a 4-week balance training program using an ankle disk. Onset of peroneal muscles activation was measured using surface electromyography and a trap-door. Findings: Parametric and non-parametric tests showed no significant differences between the control group and the experimental group (P > 0.05). Interpretation:The results indicate that the use of balance training, for a 4-week period with two training sessions per week, on physically active subjects with no history of injuries in the ankle joint, does not cause noteworthy changes on the onset of peroneal muscles activity.

“…The relationship between muscle fatigue and neuromuscular qualities has been demonstrated in the knee 36,45,53,66 and the ankle. 6 In the shoulder, most of the studies investigating altered proprioception in relation to muscle fatigue demonstrate reduced acuity of position or movement sense in the presence of muscle fatigue. 11,51,58 To our knowledge, no literature exists which demonstrates altered timing of muscle activation in the scapular muscles after a fatigue-inducing task.…”

“…However, a recent assumption has been made that not only the intensity of the muscle contraction determines the scapulothoracic function, but also the timing of muscle activity around the scapula is of major importance. 60 Several studies investigating muscle latency times for voluntary and unexpected movements have been conducted on the knee, 16,59,66,67 ankle, 6,25,34,44 and trunk. 13,22,24,68 For these joints, temporal muscle recruitment patterns have been examined in a feedback as well as in a feedforward manner.…”

4Study Design: Test-retest reliability study and single-group repeated measures design. Objectives: To evaluate the muscle latency times of the 3 portions of the trapezius muscle to a sudden arm movement in normal shoulders and to determine if this recruitment pattern is altered as a result of fatigue. Background: It has been suggested that shoulder impingement may be related to altered muscle activity and muscle fatigue in the scapular stabilizers. Fatigue-induced changes in latency times of the trapezius might influence scapular stability. Methods and Measures: Muscle latency times were investigated in 30 healthy shoulders with surface electromyography. Muscle activity was measured in all 3 sections of the trapezius and the middle deltoid muscle during a sudden downward falling movement of the arm. Subsequently the shoulder was fatigued on an isokinetic dynamometer, after which muscle latency time measurement was repeated. Results: ANOVA for repeated measures revealed significant differences in latency times (P Ͻ 0.05) among the 4 muscles of interest. Although there were no significant differences among the 3 sections of the trapezius muscle, they all were recruited after the initialization of the deltoid muscle. The recruitment order of the shoulder muscles did not change with muscle fatigue. However, after fatigue, muscle responses were significantly slower in all muscles except for the lower trapezius (P Ͻ 0.05). Sciences and Physiotherapy, De Pintelaan 185, 6K3, B9000 Ghent, Conclusions: There is a specific recruitment sequence in the shoulder muscles in response to a sudden arm movement characterized by initial activation of the middle deltoid muscle and followed by simultaneous contraction of all 3 sections of the trapezius. This muscle activation pattern is delayed but not altered with fatigue.

“…24,25 Existing data support a use for kinesiology taping in reducing edema and helping treat regional swelling 33,34 ; however, there is limited evidence to substantiate its positive impact on various musculoskeletal conditions [8][9][10] or its ability to act as an ergogenic aid. 17,18 Research demonstrates that, in a fatigued state, temporarily, muscle activation is reduced, 35 muscle reaction time is impaired, 36 proprioception declines, 37 and there is decreased postural control. 38,39 The hypothesis of this study was that kinesiology tape would help improve runner performance in a fatigued state by acting like a rubber band when placed on the anterior aspect of the lower limbs to help pull them forwards and aid skeletal muscle's elastic property.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if elastic therapeutic tape placed on anterior lower limbs would affect stride and step length in fatigued runners' gait. Methods: Forty-two healthy participants were equally divided into a kinesiology tape group (Rocktape) and a no-tape control group. Participants in both groups underwent a baseline running gait test at 6 mph without tape. After this, participants engaged in an exhaustive lower body fatigue protocol until they reached maximal volitional exhaustion. Participants were then randomized to 1 of 2 interventions: (1) Experimental group, which had kinesiology tape placed under tension on the anterior aspect of their lower limbs bilaterally from the upper thigh to just below the patella, or (2) Control group, which did not receive taping. All participants then engaged in a similar 6-mph running gait postanalysis. Participant's gait was analyzed for 90 seconds during each test iteration. Researchers used a 2-way repeatedmeasures analysis of variance considering fatigue (prefatigue, postfatigue) and group (tape, no-tape) as subject factors. Results: After the fatigue protocol, the no-tape group demonstrated a significant decrease in step length of 14.2 mm (P = .041) and stride length of 29.4 mm (P = .043). The kinesiology tape group did not demonstrate a significant decline in these gait parameters. Conclusions: In this preliminary study, placing elastic therapeutic tape over the anterior lower limbs demonstrated short-term preservation of runner step length and stride length in a fatigued state.
