en اثرات استفاده از چسب کینزیو در ناحیۀ شانه بر دقت تیراندازی و وضعیت مفصل در ورزشکاران زن تیراندازی با کمان گفتاردرمانی Speech Therapy پژوهشي Research <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="color:#0000CD;"><strong>Background and Objectives: </strong></span>Archery is a static sport and requires high degrees of accuracy and stability in the glenohumeral joint. Kinesio Tape (KT) is known as a technique for increasing joint stability and Joint Position Sense (JPS), with subsequent improvement in accuracy. The present study aims to investigate the effect of KT on shoulder JPS and accuracy in female archery athletes using Olympic recurve bows.&nbsp;<br> <span style="color:#0000CD;"><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong></span>A total of 30 female archers with a mean age of 24.77&plusmn;6.16 years and minimum of one year&rsquo;s experience of archery, volunteered to take part in the study. The repositioning angle test was performed on the shoulder JPS (of the drawing arm) at 30 degrees and 60 degrees of external rotation. In this test, the drawing arm shoulder was at 90 degrees of abduction and the elbow was at 90 degrees of flexion. Then, each participant shot three arrows from distances of 18, 30, and 50 meters, and their scores were recorded. Next, KT was placed on the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles, and repositioning test and shooting were repeated.<br> <span style="color:#0000CD;"><strong>Results: </strong></span>KT positively affected archery scores (P=0.004, 0.000, and 0.004 for 18, 30, and 50 meters, respectively). The results for absolute error in repositioning angle test showed an increase in JPS at 60 degrees of external rotation (P=0.000), but no significant difference was observed at 30 degrees of external rotation (P=0.637).<br> <span style="color:#0000CD;"><strong>Conclusion: </strong></span>It appears that KT technique can be used to increase the shoulder joint JPS and improve archers&rsquo; shooting accuracy. </span></div> Joint position sense, Archery, Kinesio tape, Shooting accuracy, Shoulder external rotation. 9 16 http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-27-17&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Banafsheh Rajabzadeh بنفشه رجب‌زاده 10031947532846001339 10031947532846001339 No Rehabilitation Research Center, Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran مرکز تحقیقات توانبخشی،گروه فیزیوتراپی، دانشکدۀ علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Ali Amiri علی امیری 10031947532846001340 10031947532846001340 Yes Rehabilitation Research Center, Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran مرکز تحقیقات توانبخشی،گروه فیزیوتراپی، دانشکدۀ علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Behnoosh Vasaghi-Gharamaleki بهنوش وثاقی قراملکی 10031947532846001341 10031947532846001341 No Rehabilitation Research Center, Department of Rehabilitation Basic Sciences, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran مرکز تحقیقات توانبخشی،گروه علوم پایۀ توانبخشی، دانشکدۀ علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Seyed Hassan Saneii سید حسن صانعی 10031947532846001342 10031947532846001342 No Rehabilitation Research Center, Department of Rehabilitation Basic Sciences, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran مرکز تحقیقات توانبخشی،گروه علوم پایۀ توانبخشی، دانشکدۀ علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران
