Abstract
Osgood-Schlatter disease is the most common type of knee joint injury among adolescent male soccer players. To clarify the cause of OsgoodSchlatter disease in adolescent soccer players, we previously measured the position of the center of gravity during the kicking motion...
Highlights
Adolescent athletes who are active during a growth spurt may develop epiphysitis at multiple sites, and many sports injuries in adolescent athletes are caused by the architectural fragility of the epiphysis [1,2] for example, elbow joint injuries in baseball players and knee joint injuries in soccer players [3]
It was revealed that the center of gravity during the kicking motion was backward in soccer players who developed Osgood-Schlatter disease
We investigated the difference in the position of the center of gravity during kicking motion with or without prevention tape
Summary
Adolescent athletes who are active during a growth spurt may develop epiphysitis at multiple sites, and many sports injuries in adolescent athletes are caused by the architectural fragility of the epiphysis [1,2] for example, elbow joint injuries in baseball players and knee joint injuries in soccer players [3]. Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is the most common type of knee joint injury among adolescent male soccer players [4,5,6]. To clarify the cause of OSD in adolescent soccer players, Watanabe et al measured the position of the center of gravity (COG) during the kicking motion. It was revealed that the COG during the kicking motion was backward in the soccer players who developed OSD [7]. If the taping increases the muscle force, it should have effect on a position of the joints during sports activities. The purpose of this study is to develop a taping method (prevention tape) to prevent the backward COG during the kicking motion and to prevent the onset of OSD in adolescent male soccer players
