proprioception has been found to have a relation to subjective knee function and patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps) seem to have larger deficits than asymptomatic individuals little is known about whether taping can restore defects in proprioception or by which mechanisms it can improve anterior knee pain. to determine the effect of patellar taping on knee joint proprioception a ...

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping on the trajectory of the forelimb and the muscle activity of the M. brachiocephalicus and the M. extensor carpi radialis in horses. 19 horses and ponies of different breeds (body weight: 496±117 kg), gender (8 mares, 10 geldings and 3 stallions) and ages (14.9±6.9 years old) were analysed without Kinesio...

[Purpose] The aim of this paper was to report the efficacy of kinesiology taping for recovery from wrist pain and limited range of motion (ROM) in a physical therapist with repetitive strain injuries. [Subjects] A 32 year-old male physical therapist developed recurring severe pain in the dominant wrist and limited active ROM with extremely painful supination. [Methods] The kinesiology tape was ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) applied over the biceps brachii on maximal isokinetic elbow torque. DESIGN This study followed a single-blinded, placebo controlled, repeated measures design. METHODS Isokinetic eccentric and concentric elbow peak torques were evaluated without taping (NT), with KT or placebo taping (PT) in 20 healthy participants. Furthermore, all...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different taping techniques on back muscle fatigue in people with low pain. METHODS: Sixty women chronic non-specific pain were randomly assigned to four groups 15 participants each: control (CG), Kinesio Taping (KT) tension (KTT), KT no (KTNT) and Micropore® (MP), which applied over erector spinae muscles. The median frequency (MF) slopes longissimus sustai...

Taping has long been used by health professionals to provide mechanical support for the musculoskeletal system. However, there is insufficient evidence demonstrate effect of Dynamic® taping. The aim this study was investigate taping on vertical jump and medial longitudinal arch height in adolescent volleyball players with navicular drop. Material Methods: 23 female athletes participated (mean a...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of tape, with and without prewrap, on dynamic ankle inversion before and after exercise. DESIGN AND SETTING Doubly multivariate analyses of variance were used to compare the taping and exercise conditions. Subjects were randomly assigned to a fixed treatment order as determined by a balanced latin square. The independent variables were tape application (no tap...
