The immediate effect of pole work and kinesiotape on engagement of rectus abdominis and longissimus dorsi activity

Description

This study investigated the effect of poles and KT applied to the abdomen on the LD and RA activity, LS angle, pelvic symmetry and forelimb and hindlimb protraction and retraction angles. It was hypothesised that (1) poles would increase RA and LD activation and improve kinematics; (2) kinesiotaping would independently increase RA and LD activation and kinematics parameters would be improved; and (3) combined application would produce summative effects.
