Abstract;In this paper, the effect of the kinesio taping on the muscle fatigue of the lower extremity is investigated. To this end, a subject performs usual gate motion after load motion using the muscle force measuring and training machine. Some characteristic quantities from the kinematical sense during gate motion are measured and compared between the cases with and without taping. As a result, in the case of gate motion, it was shown that the muscle fatigue in the case of gate motion with taping is less than the one without taping. The load of gate motion is, however, little, so that it was noted that the lower extremity may exert more power to resist the taping. The other hand, in the case of load motion, no significant differences of the characteristic quantities can be observed between the cases with and without taping. It was considered that the taping has not much effect on muscle fatigue in the case of load motion. (author abst.)
