Investigation of Immediate and Delayed Effects of Bilateral Forearm Kinesio-Taping on Maximal Hand Grip Strength in Female Volleyball Players

TL;DR: The results of the current study showed that the kinesio-taping in female volleyball players did not have a significant effect on immediate, right after training and 48 hours after taping, compared to placebo taping measurements in dominant and non-dominant maximal hand grip strength.

Has kinesio tape a thermal effect on sprint cycling performance? A thermographic study.

TL;DR: Investigation of the immediate effect that kinesio taping application on vastus lateralis and vastus medialis has on skin temperature (Tsk) of rectus femoris before and after a sprint cycling effort found PP and ΔT were significantly higher in the KT2 with respect to the nKT condition (p<0.05).

Modulation in pain and EMG activities with rigid- and Kinesio- taping in athletes with jumper’s knee

SN Fu, +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of whether taping could modulate intensity of pain and electromyography activities of vasti muscles in the athletes with jumper’s knee found rigid tape reduced pain during decline squat, while both rigid and Kinesio taping reduced pain on landing from counter-movement jumps.

Efficiency of kinesio taping in prevention and rehabilitation of sport injuries

TL;DR: There was little quality evidence to support the use of KT over other types of elastic taping in the management or prevention of sports injuries, and KT may have a small beneficial role in improving strength, range of motion in certain injured subjects and force sense error compared with other tapes.

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.

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.
