Methods We measured electromyographic EMG activity of twelve lower limb muscles three-dimensional kinematics of the ankle knee hip and pelvis foot posture and foot mobility to determine the physiological effect of ALD tape. Fourteen females with exercise related leg pain and 14 matched asymptomatic females walked on a treadmill under three conditions pre-tape tape and post-tape. A series of repeated measure analysis of variance procedures were performed to investigate differences in EMG kinematic foot posture and mobility measurements. Results Application of ALD tape produced reductions in recruitment of tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior . Large reductions in midfoot mobility to cm and increases in arch height cm as well as moderate changes in ankle motion in the sagittal to and transverse planes to were observed. Reduced muscle activation and increased motion was observed at more proximal segments knee hip pelvis but were of smaller magnitude than at the foot and ankle. Changes in foot posture foot mobility ankle kinematics and leg muscle activity did not persist following the removal of ALD tape but at more proximal segments small changes maximum continued to be observed following the removal of tape. There were no differences between groups. Conclusions This study provides evidence that ALD tape influences muscle .
