“…In the current literature the results of comparison of the combined therapy and KT to the rehabilitation program itself are not conclusive [1,15,25], which may result from a short intervention time, a small number of patients or a comparison of KT activities with a rehabilitation program to other physiotherapeutic methods combined with an exercise program. The results of the meta-analysis performed by Saragoulu et al [14] show that KT can be helpful in reducing pain, improving the range of movement or muscle strength, especially at the initial stage of treatment, however, the authors believe that more research is needed to show whether KT it is also helpful during longer therapy. Our own study meets these expectations.…”

BackgroundThe aim of our study was to assess the influence of KT on the pain, range of motion and muscle strength of the rotator cuff during long-term rehabilitation process. Methods In pre post treatment randomized controlled trial took part sixty outpatients with the rotator cuff injury. Thirty participants were assigned into a researched group in which Kinesio Taping was combined with a six-week rehabilitation program and a control group (30 patients) in which only rehabilitation program was employed. Patients underwent functional testing according to the protocol of Orthopaedic Medicine Cyriax and were subjected to the measurement of muscle strength using Biodex System 4 dynamometer. ResultsThe therapy brought positive results in both groups when it comes to the increase of their muscle strength and the improvement of the upper limb functionality. Better effects were achieved by the therapy that used Kinesio Taping method, although the differences were not statistically significant. ConclusionsThe use of the Kinesio Taping method combined with the rehabilitation program gave the same results as the employment of the rehabilitation program alone in reference to the pain, range of motion and muscle strength of the rotator cuff.

“…There were eight SRs related to the shoulder, scapula, and glenohumeral joint (Appendix 1 File: Appendix 1D) with overall AMSTAR scores ranging from 6-10. All SRs evaluated taping strategies for subacromial impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tendinopathy [88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95]. There were nineteen RCTs investigating taping strategies for the treatment of SIS (Appendix 2 File: Appendix 2D).…”

Background Taping is a common treatment modality used by many rehabilitation providers. Several types of tapes and taping methods are used in the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain. Purpose To summarize and map the evidence related to taping methods used for various joints and conditions of the musculoskeletal system, and to provide clinicians and researchers with a user-friendly reference with organized evidence tables. Data sources The PEDro, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials, PubMed, and PROSPERO databases were searched from inception through October 31, 2019. Study selection Eligible studies were selected by two independent reviewers and included either systematic reviews (SRs) or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and included a musculoskeletal complaint using a clinical outcome measure. Data extraction Data was extracted by two investigators independently. Risk of bias and quality were assessed using A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) for SRs or the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale for RCTs. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019122857). Data synthesis Twenty-five musculoskeletal conditions were summarized from forty-one SRs and 127 RCTs. There were 6 SRs and 49 RCTs for spinal conditions. Kinesio tape was the most common type of tape considered. Four evidence tables representing the synthesized SRs and RCTs were produced and organized by body region per condition. Limitations Inclusion of only English language studies. Also, the heterogeneous nature of the included studies prevented a meta-analysis. Conclusions There is mixed quality evidence of effectiveness for the different types of taping methods for different body regions and conditions. All of the SRs and RCTs found during our search of the taping literature have been organized into a series of appendices. A synthesis of the results have been placed in evidence tables that may serve as a useful guide to clinicians and researchers.

“…Several systematic reviews or meta-analysis were published evaluating the effects of kinesio taping on musculoskeletal disorders. 10 –14 Majority of these studies revolved around many different pathologies under the name of musculoskeletal disorders or sport injuries. 11 –13 Kinesio taping is most commonly used for shoulder disorders such as impingement syndrome, rotator cuff pathologies and calcific tendinopathy.…”

“…Only three of all published systematic reviews on this topic were related to shoulder disorders; which did not directly address the effects of kinesio taping specifically on shoulder disorders. 10,14,15 Desjardins-Charbonneau et al 10 reported the effectiveness of different taping methods such as kinesio taping or nonelastic taping which were applied with different purposes to treat rotator cuff tendinopathy. The authors reviewed literature until 2014 and ruled out other shoulder disorders.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on shoulder disorders, as a single treatment modality or as conjunction to other treatments. Data sources: MEDLINE, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase and OpenGrey databases were searched for trials published before 5 February 2020. Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guideline statement. Randomized controlled trials published in English or Turkish were included. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed with the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. For analysis of continuous data, mean differences (MDs) or standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used. The I2 statistics was used to measure the heterogeneity. Results: Fourteen studies were included with 680 participants. Kinesio taping did not produce better results on pain compared to sham (MD by –0.77 (95% CI = –1.77, 0.22), P = 0.13), exercises (MD by –0.51 (95% CI = –1.41, 0.39), P = 0.27), or passive treatments (MD by –0.29 (95% CI = –0.77, 0.19), P = 0.24). Similarly, kinesio taping did not found superior to sham kinesio taping (SMD by –0.01 (95% CI = –0.31, 0.29), P = 0.94), exercises (SMD by 0.41 (95% CI = –0.25, 1.07), P = 0.22), or passive treatments on function (SMD by –0.02 (95% CI = –0.19, 0.15), P = 0.82). There was no significant SMD on range of motion (ROM) by –0.07 (95% CI = –0.47, 0.33, P = 0.74) compared to sham kinesio taping and –0.06 (95% CI = –0.20, 0.09, P = 0.46) compared to passive treatment. Overall, effect size was found small to moderate. Conclusion: Despite reported positive effects in some studies, there is no firm evidence of any benefit of kinesio taping on shoulder disorders.
