The Kinesio tape (KT) is an elastic therapeutic tape used for treating athletic injuries and a variety of other disorders. The chiropractor, Dr.. Kens Kase, developed techniques to bandage KT 70. Stated that KT supports injured muscles and joints and helps release the pain by lifting the skin and help improve blood flow and lymphatic. KT's fame grew after he gave a tape to 58 countries that could use it during the 2008 Olympics, and was seen in high-performance athletes. Professionals are wondering whether they should use the KT instead of other elastic adhesive bandages.
The aim of this review was to evaluate, coeur using meta-analysis, the effectiveness of KT in the treatment and prevention of sports injuries. The electronic databases include SPORTDiscus, Scopus, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and sports medicine websites where he can search with the words "kinesio taping / tape '.
97 articles, ten met the inclusion criteria (article presented data on the effect of KT on the musculoskeletal apparatus and had group) and were selected for the meta-analysis. Inference figures were used to assess the clinical value of the studies coeur reported positive results.
Studies supported musculoskeletal outcomes in healthy participants were included on the basis that these results may have implications in the prevention of sports injuries.
There are inconsistent results on range of motion, with only two small beneficial results observed in both studies, but trivial results in two other studies with numerous joint action.
There is a possible benefit for vigilance in relation to correct the error in the sense of grip strength ("grip force without error"), but without positive results proprioception of the ankle.
Seven results could be beneficial with regard to strength, although there were numerous trivial findings on the maximum power point and isquiocrurals quadriceps and grip strength measurements.
In conclusion, there is little evidence supporting the use of KT over other types of elastic bandages in the treatment or prevention coeur of sports injuries. coeur KT may have a small beneficial role in improving the strength and range of motion in certain cohorts with injuries coeur and error correction of the direction of force ("force without error") compared with other dressings, but more studies are needed coeur to confirm these findings.
The number of case studies and anecdotal support to KT require well-designed experimental research, particularly that related to sports injuries, so that professionals can be sure that it is beneficial to athletes.
