The Effects of Taping and Corrective Exercise Program on Spine Pelvic Balance in University Students

Evaluation of the Effect Kinesio Taping on Plantar Arch Index Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Ankle sprains are common sports injuries. Inadequate foot position awareness is thought to be the fundamental cause of these injuries. Ankle taping may decrease risk of injury through improving foot position awareness. The benefit of taping is thought to decrease with duration of exercise because of poor tape adherence to human skin. This study was a randomized, crossover, controlled comparison...

OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND Morton's neuroma is essentially a benign tumor in the foot, which may cause extreme pain and disability.

This report introduces Functional Fascial Taping (FFT) developed by Alexander, as a new treatment regime and examines its effectiveness in th...

CONTEXT Postural stability diminishes with longer activity, which may increase the risk of injury. Tape can increase stability, but this effect diminishes after exercise. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of ankle taping on postural stability during soccer-specific activity. PARTICIPANTS 10 male, injury-free, semiprofessional soccer players. INTERVENTION A 45-min treadmill protocol r...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in function and balance after Kinesio Taping application in stroke patients.

BACKGROUND Preterm infants are at an increased risk of sucking problems, swallowing difficulty, and poor nourishment. During the neonatal period, the neurobehavioral organization of a preterm baby is poor compared with that of appropriate gestational age infants. Kinesio Taping has been widely used for edema control, joint protection, and proprioception training. With the help of augmentation o...
