股四頭肌肌內效貼布貼紮對健康人下肢功能與運動表現之影響：隨機對照試驗之系統性文獻回顧

Effects of quadriceps kinesio tape on lower extremity function and performance in healthy individuals: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

近年來肌內效貼布被廣泛運用於醫療與運動領域。然而，肌內效貼布的功能效益，在過去研究中尚存在諸多爭議與限制。因此，本系統性文獻回顧之目的為，探討股四頭肌肌內效貼布貼紮對健康人下肢功能與運動表現之影響。本研究搜尋中文及英文期刊論文電子資料庫 (2011-2021)。共計11 篇研究符合納入標準，其中有6 篇測量肌肉力量；4 篇測量肌肉活化；7 篇測量功能性運動表現；2 篇測量本體感覺；2 篇測量平衡能力。結果顯示股四頭肌肌內效貼布貼紮對健康人肌肉力量、肌肉活化、功能性運動表現與平衡均無顯著的促進效益。而對於本體感覺的影響，仍需進一步研究加以釐清。建議如若健康人欲增加下肢功能與運動表現，股四頭肌肌內效貼布貼紮並非為首要建議選項。此外，建議未來研究進一步探究肌內效貼布貼紮對本體感覺與不同族群的影響，協助臨床工作者依據服務對象需求選擇合適介入。

Kinesio tape has been commonly used in medical and sports fields in recent years. However, the effect of Kinesio tape has not been well supported and controversial in previous studies. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effect of quadriceps Kinesio tape on lower extremity function and performance in healthy individuals. Original studies published between 2011 to 2021 in English or Chinese languages were included. Eleven original studies met the criteria, of which 6 assessed muscle strength; 4 assessed muscle activation; 7 assessed functional motion performance; 2 assessed proprioception; 2 assessed balance. Our results show a lack of evidence to support the quadriceps Kinesio tape to enhance muscle strength, muscle activation, functional sports performance, and balance in healthy individuals. Further research is needed to determine the effect of quadriceps Kinesio tape on proprioception. According to our findings, quadriceps Kinesio tape is not recommended as a primary option for healthy individuals who intend to increase lower extremity function and performance. Future research is needed to investigate the influence of the quadriceps Kinesio tape on proprioception in various populations to help clinicians select appropriate interventional tools based on clients’ needs.
