(e aim of this paper is to determine the relaxation behavior of the therapeutic tape under different thermomechanical conditions over different time spans and to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of selected kinesiology tapes. (e relaxation test was conducted under a static condition with two extended levels (25% and 50%) for one hour and a dynamic condition for 300 cycles with different loading-unloading values, strain rates, and temperatures. For both static and dynamic conditions, at a lower strain rate and higher load and temperature, the therapeutic tapes showed higher loss of internal stress and faster losses of efficiency. Under all selected conditions, the tape’s stress has decreased rapidly. 1. Introduction (e previous study on the Kinesio taping method is devoted to examining its therapeutic effects, or its effect on Elastic therapeutic tape (ET), also known as Kinesio tape, clinical treatment like athletic performance, lymphatic was developed by Japanese Chiropractor Dr.

Relevance: Elastic therapeutic tape is frequently used as an adjunct to enhance athletic performance amongst athletes. However, limited research exists supporting its application on isokinetic performance of the lumbar extensor muscles. Methods: A cross-sectional experimental study. 21 participants received three taping conditions in a randomised order: elastic therapeutic tape, a placebo tape and a no- tape control. Peak torque, the time taken to reach peak torque and peak velocity were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. Analysis: Friedman’s test and post-hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to determine the statistical differences between the three taping conditions. Level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: A statistically significant improvement in peak lumbar extensor torque was observed when comparing elastic therapeutic tape with the no-tape control (p < 0.05).

    1 / 1998 CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN AND AURICULAR THERAPY Tony van Gelder, MD Rotterdam, The Netherlands Reported at the 2nd IAAM Congress, September 19-21, 1997, Oisterwijk, The Netherlands The author describes his experience in pain control through auricular medicine. In coping with the problem of pain in the lumbar region, this article contains a comparison of different techniques in point stimulation and a subsequential system to manage the process of pain reduction. Topics involved are the three phases, pain axes and the use of chakrapoints. Key words: pain, auricular therapy, acupuncture, chakra's. PAUL NOGIER: OUR MASTER Dr. Andre Lentz 13 bd Trimolet Dijon, France When, before 1968, we wrote to our doctors of medicine, it was the custom to use the formula "Sir and Dear Master". It was a custom imposed by submission to the prevailing academic Establishment rather than by a deep attachment to the person. For it is not enough to be a teacher to earn the name of master. The Master is he who, by his world vision, is able to alter our convictions and beliefs, thus creating a real school of thought. Paul Nogier was one such person. He profoundly modified our conception of medicine and our approach to man. He not only made important discoveries but he incorporated this image of man and the world into his everyday life, becoming a model for many of us. Pupils from all over the world came of their own volition to hear him and emulate him. Paul Nogier dedicated his life to an idea that could be expressed as follows: There are simple ways of bringing relief to a patient; it is up to us to discover them.
