The effect of kinesio taping on calf pain and extensibility immediately after its application and after a duathlon competition.

TL;DR: Applying KT on calves seems to reduce muscle pain produced by the competition among duathletes with no apparent musculoskeletal disorder, and Kinesio tape (KT) application, however, does not affect the calf extensibility immediately and after a duathlon competition.

What is the effect and mechanism of kinesiology tape on muscle activity

TL;DR: Results suggest that the kinesiology tape facilitates the muscle activity and the underlying mechanism on the gastrosoleus motor neuron pool involves the cutaneous receptors.

The acute effect of kinesio taping on hamstring extensibility in university students

TL;DR: The application of kinesio taping does not seem to acutely increase hip flexion range of motion in healthy subjects, and the application of KT using the Xshaped taping technique in order to affect hamstring muscle extensibility is evaluated.

O uso da bandagem elástica Kinesio no controle da sialorréia em crianças com paralisia cerebral

TL;DR: In this paper, a pesquisa of 42 criancas with idades entre 4 and 15 years (media = 8 anos and 9 meses) with paralisia cerebral and queixa de sialorreia was conducted.

Changes in muscle responses to stimulation of the motor cortex induced by peripheral nerve stimulation in human subjects.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in normal human subjects the excitability of the cortical projection to hand muscles can be altered in a manner determined by the peripheral stimulus applied.

The Effects of Kinesio™ Taping on Proprioception at the Ankle

TL;DR: The physiological responses in this study were less severe during a MS test than those reported during an incremental Balke treadmill test, and suggests that MS tests may be an acceptable method to assess the maximal strength of patients with moderate heart failure.

Changes in ankle joint proprioception resulting from strips of athletic tape applied over the skin.

TL;DR: It is concluded that increased cutaneous sensory feedback provided by strips of athletic tape applied across the ankle joint of healthy individuals can help improve ankle joint position perception in nonweightbearing, especially for a midrange plantar-flexed ankle position.

Does taping influence electromyographic muscle activity in the scapular rotators in healthy shoulders

TL;DR: The results of the investigation revealed no significant influence of tape application on EMG activity in the scapular muscles in healthy subjects and future research will be necessary to examine other parameters of neuromuscular control in order to determine possible proprioceptive changes in muscle recruitment with tape application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutaneous stimulation from patella tape causes a differential increase in vasti muscle activity in people with patellofemoral pain

TL;DR: Application of stretch to the skin over VMO via the tape can increase VMO activity, suggesting that cutaneous stimulation may be one mechanism by which patella taping produces a clinical effect.
