The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of kinesio taping and stretching exercises in contemporary dancers with chronic shin splints. In the present study, purposively review the published evidence regarding risk factor associated with chronic shin splints in contemporary dancers, assess the effectiveness of kinesio taping, and stretching exercises, of the 45 citations identified, we emphasised results of the nine reports that compare the effect of kinesio taping method to prevent shin splints, twenty-three reports on the effect of shin splints in contemporary dancers, seventeen reports the effect of stretching exercises in shin splints, and two reports the effect of both kinesis taping and stretching exercises on contemporary dancers with repetitive stress and overused activities. The result of the kinesio taping and stretching exercises programs in contemporary dancers with chronic shin splints have undergone assessment of controlled trials. There is no strong support for any of these interventions, and each of four control trials is limited methodologically. The most encouraging evidence for effective prevention of chronic shin splints involves the use of stretching exercise programs. However, serious flaws in study design and implementation constraints the work in this field thus far. Keywords: Kinesio taping technique, Stretching exercise program, Chronic Shin Splints, Contemporary dancers.
