Effects of Kinesio® taping on skeletal muscle strength—A meta-analysis of current evidence
Robert Csapo,Luis M. Alegre +1 more
TLDR
Comparisons between studies grouped by the muscle groups examined showed that the effects of Kinesio tapes are not muscle-group dependent, suggesting that the usage of these tapes does not promote strength gains in healthy adults.About:

Kinesio taping in musculoskeletal pain and disability that lasts for more than 4 weeks: is it time to peel off the tape and throw it out with the sweat? A systematic review with meta-analysis focused on pain and also methods of tape application
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the pain and disability in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain who were treated with Kinesio taping with those using minimal or other treatment approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of Kinesio taping on muscle strength and fatigue in the forearm of tennis players
TL;DR: Kinesio taping may not be able to modulate strength production in healthy athletes immediately, but does have a significant positive effect on reducing muscle fatigue during repeated concentric muscle actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinesio taping reduces elbow pain during resisted wrist extension in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis: A randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study
TL;DR: Taping produced unneglectable placebo effects on pain relief and painf-free grip strength for patients with lateral epicondylitis, and KT seemed to have additional effects on controlling pain that was elicited by resisted wrist extension.

Effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis.
Maurício Antônio da Luz Junior,Matheus Oliveira de Almeida,Raiany Silva Santos,Vinicius Tassoni Civile,Leonardo Oliveira Pena Costa +4 more
TL;DR: Very low to moderate quality evidence shows that KT was no better than any other intervention for most the outcomes assessed in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of kinesiology tape on sports performance abilities in athletes: A systematic review
TL;DR: There is a lack of compelling evidence to support the use of KT to enhance the sports performance abilities based on this review, and no comparisons demonstrated significant effects.

Reliability of the PEDro Scale for Rating Quality of Randomized Controlled Trials
TL;DR: The reliability of ratings of PEDro scale items varied from "fair" to "substantial," and the reliability of the total PEDo score was "fair to "good.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Effect Sizes From Pretest-Posttest-Control Group Designs:
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three alternate effect size estimates for repeated measurements in both treatment and control groups, and found that the alternate measures of effect size were less accurate than the original measures.

How to do a meta-analysis.
Andy P. Field,Raphael Gillett +1 more
TL;DR: The process of conducting meta-analysis is described: selecting articles, developing inclusion criteria, calculating effect sizes, conducting the actual analysis (including information on how to do the analysis on popular computer packages such as IBM SPSS and R) and estimating the effects of publication bias.
Clinical therapeutic applications of the Kinesio( !R)taping method
TL;DR: The kinesio taping method has applications in medicine and sport, as well as in other fields such as education, sport, and medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinesio taping in treatment and prevention of sports injuries: a meta-analysis of the evidence for its effectiveness.
TL;DR: There was little quality evidence to support the use of KT over other types of elastic taping in themanagement or prevention of sports injuries, and KT had some substantial effects on muscle activity, but it was unclear whether these changes were beneficial or harmful.
