Abstract

Background and Aim: Background and Aim: Grip is the main function of the hand. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of forearm kinesiotaping on maximum power grip and endurance among female students.
Materials and Methods: In this study a hand dynamometer and a chronometer were used to evaluate pre and post maximum power grip and endurance in three groups after 24 hours of forearm kinesiotaping. Forty five healthy female students were investigated in three groups: “1-without taping (control group), 2- with upY taping, and 3- down Y taping”.
Results: Following the taping a significant increase was found for maximum power grip in group three (61.40±10.25 N, P<0.002). Meanwhile no significant differences were seen for power grip in groups one and two (60.40±8.36 N, PConclusion: The findings of the present study showed that after 24 hours of forearm taping, maximum power and endurance grip increased in healthy females.
