Resumen

 

Objetivo: Analizar los efectos del kinesiotape sobre la arquitectura y flexibilidad de los músculos gastrocnemios acortados en sujetos jóvenes durante tres días de aplicación. Método: Veinticinco jóvenes sedentarios con acortamiento del músculo gastrocnemio, fueron asignados aleatoriamente a un grupo experimental (GE=13) intervenido con KT durante 72 horas y a un grupo control (GC=12). Se evaluó la flexibilidad del gastrocnemio y del sóleo. La arquitectura muscular, representada en la longitud del fascículo, grosor y ángulo de penación muscular, fue evaluada con un ultrasonógrafo en Modo B en ambos grupos. Para determinar los efectos de KT, se aplicó una prueba t. Todos los análisis fueron con una significancia p<0.05. Resultados: ultrasonográficos mostraron un aumento significativo en la longitud del fascículo muscular (p=0.021), y una disminución en el grosor (p=0.037) y ángulo de penación (p=0.026) muscular post-intervención con KT en el GE. La flexibilidad de los músculos gastrocnemio y sóleo aumento frente a la aplicación del KT pero sin cambios significativos. No se presentaron diferencias en el análisis entre el GE y GC. Conclusión: La aplicación de KT en sujetos con acortamiento de gastrocnemio, permite una mejor flexibilidad muscular al tercer día de uso, favorecido, posiblemente, por una modificación en la arquitectura muscular.  

Abstract: Objetive: To analyze the effects of kinesiotape on the architecture and flexibility of shortened gastrocnemius muscles in young subjects during three days of application. Method: Twenty-five sedentary youth with shortening of the gastrocnemius muscle were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG=13) intervened with KT for 72 hours and to a control group (CG=12). The flexibility of gastrocnemius and soleus was evaluated. The muscular architecture, represented in the length of the fascicle, thickness and angle of muscular pennation, was evaluated with a Mode B ultrasound in both groups. To determine the effects of KT, a t-test was applied. All analyzes were with a significance of p <0.05. Results: The ultrasonographic results showed a significant increase in the length of the muscular fascicle (p=0.021), and a decrease in the thickness (p=0.037) and pennation angle (p=0.026) post-intervention muscle with KT in the EG. The flexibility of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles increased compared to the application of KT but without significant changes. There were no differences in the analysis between the EG and CG. Conclusion: The application of KT in subjects with shortening of gastrocnemius, allows a better muscular flexibility on the third day of use, possibly favored by a modification in the muscular architecture.
