“…However, no significant improvement in respiratory muscle 14 strength was evaluated with maximal respiratory mouth pressures. 20 The need for IMV (38%) was lowest in our study group that received rehabilitation along with Kinesio tape. Only one study demonstrated the effects of Kinesio tape on respiratory muscle thickness in patients who underwent IMV.…”

“…Studies report that Kinesio tape improves extremity muscle functions due to increased proprioceptive stimulation. 13,[20][21][22] There are limited results for the efficacy of Kinesio tape on respiratory muscles. In a study investigating the effects of Kinesio tape on pulmonary functions and aerobic capacity in sedentary individuals, it was observed that spirometry parameters and shuttle run test distance increased in the Kinesio taping group.…”

Objective The efficacy of early rehabilitation in patients in the intensive care unit is apparent. However, it is still unclear in COVID-19 patients. Also, the effects of diaphragm kinesiotaping on outcomes and muscle thickness were not shown previously. Thus, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of rehabilitation and diaphragm kinesiotaping in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia by evaluating with the ultrasonography of the diaphragm. Methods Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in intensive care unit requiring high flow oxygen therapy included in the study. Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in intensive care unit requiring high flow oxygen therapy were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n = 22) rehabilitation, group 2 (n = 26) rehabilitation and diaphragm kinesiotaping, Group 3 (n = 24) control group-only standard intensive care unit care. Ultrasonographic measurements of diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction were recorded repeatedly. Results The demographic characteristics, mortality, and length of stay were not different between groups. However, invasive mechanic ventilation requirement and the decrease in diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction values were significantly lower in the diaphragm kinesiotaping group. Baseline diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction values were found to impact invasive mechanic ventilation requirement. Cut-off values for these parameters are 2.85 mm and 37.95%, respectively. Conclusion Baseline diaphragm thickness can be used to predict noninvasive ventilation failure. By the way, the patients who are more likely to develop respiratory failure should receive inspiratory muscle training exercises combined with general rehabilitation principles. Also, diaphragm kinesiotaping should be included in the rehabilitation protocol.

“…Diatx et al 18 investigated diaphragm KT on respiratory function in individuals with COPD and found significant increases in maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, peak expiratory flow, and pulse oxygen saturation. Similarly, Tomruk et al 19 reported significant increases in the percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second, peak expiratory flow value, percentage predicted of peak expiratory flow, and walking distance in the KT group and significant decreases in severity of dyspnea and fatigue. The changes in respiratory characteristics in these studies may suggest the use of KT in populations with certain pathologies.…”

Purpose: Kinesiology Tape (KT) has been used to improve mobility and muscle activation. Limited research has studied its effect on respiratory function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of KT on chest wall excursion (CWE) and magnitude of respiratory muscle activation. Methods: Ninety subjects were randomly assigned to receive KT, sham tape, or no tape around the lower thoracic region. Measures, including CWE, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and surface electromyography (sEMG) of intercostal and scalene muscles, were taken during a maximal inspiratory effort before (T-B) and after (T-1) tape application. Subjects continued to wear the tape and returned 48 hours later for another set of measurements (T-2). Repeated measures Analysis of Variance and post-hoc paired t-tests were used to determine the influence of tape. Results: No significant differences were identified for sEMG amplitude or CWE. Maximal inspiratory pressure scores showed no significant between-group effect; however, a significant within-group effect was found. Post-hoc analyses revealed significant differences between T-B and T-2 and T-1 and T-2 for all groups. Conclusion: Kinesiology Tape application did not show increased muscle activation, CWE, or MIP compared with sham and control scenarios. A significant training effect for MIP was identified. Future research should investigate KT effects in other age groups or with the presence of pulmonary pathology.

“…In another study, pulmonary functions, perceived severity of dyspnea and fatigue, functional capacity were found to be improved by KT in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, there was no signi cant improvement in respiratory muscle strength which was evaluated with maximal respiratory mouth pressures [25].…”

Purpose: The efficacy of early rehabilitation in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is apparent. However, it is still unclear in COVID-19 patients. Also, the effects of diaphragm kinesiotaping (KT) on outcomes and muscle thickness were not shown previously. Thus, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of rehabilitation and diaphragm KT in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia by evaluating with the US of the diaphragm. Methodology: Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in ICU requiring high flow oxygen therapy included in the study. Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in ICU requiring high flow oxygen therapy were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n=22) rehabilitation, group 2 (n=26) rehabilitation and diaphragm KT, Group 3 (n=24) control group-only standard ICU care. Ultrasonographic measurements of diaphragm thickness (DT) and thickening fraction (TF) were recorded repeatedly.Results: The demographic characteristics, mortality, and length of stay were not different between groups. However, invasive mechanic ventilation (IMV) requirement and the decrease in DT and TF values were significantly lower in the KT group. Baseline DT and TF values were found to impact IMV requirement. Cut-off values for these parameters are 2.85 mm and 37.95%, respectively. Conclusion: Baseline DT can be used to predict noninvasive ventilation failure. By the way, the patients who are more likely to develop respiratory failure should receive inspiratory muscle training exercises combined with general rehabilitation principles. Also, diaphragm KT should be included in the rehabilitation protocol.
