Abstract
Application of the neuromuscular bandage has frequently been used in sports and rehabilitation. There are several benefits associated with this bandage, although its influence and effects on the plantar pressure pattern have not been analyzed. In this sense, our study has analyzed plantar pressure in 5 foot zones with the pedobarographic system Biofoot IBV® 6.0 as well as cadence and contact time. A total of 29 subjects participated in the study, walking on a treadmill at 1 m/s with and without the neuromuscular bandage on the peroneus and triceps surae. The results did not show any significant differences (p<0.05) in plantar pressure using the neuromuscular bandage in both muscle groups. Only the effect of this bandage applied on the triceps surae during walking showed a slight increase in contact time (p=0.045).
