“…Interestingly, they noted a significant increase in muscle strength in individuals who used KT regularly, which may point to its placebo effect. However, Miller et al [ 32 ] observed that KT may facilitate GMed activation and improve postural stability in women with unilateral patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).…”

“…Afterward, with the leg in the original position, the remainder of the tape was applied without any tension, ending approximately at the greater trochanter. Next, the second I strip was applied in the same manner starting at the anterior iliac crest [ 32 ]. The tension of the tape (50%) was calculated according to the following formula: (L − 4/1.50) + 4 where L is the length of the tape, 4 represents the length of the anchors (2 cm in each end) and 1.50 depicts the required tension [ 33 ].…”

“…The control group (placebo tape application) received a single strip of paper tape (Endura Fix Tape) across the lateral affected hip without tension in the tape or muscle stretch ( Figure 4 ) [ 32 ]. The participants were instructed to leave the tape in place until the follow-up visit.…”

Background: Gluteus medius muscle (GMed) dysfunctions may be associated with pain and functional problems in the lumbar spine and lower limbs. The study sought to assess the effects of applying kinesio taping (KT) and rigid taping (RT) on GMed in the dominant leg of healthy individuals. Furthermore, an attempt was made to indicate which of the applied exercises brought about the greatest activation of GMed. Methods: The study included 90 individuals, with an average age of 21.79. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: kinesio tape (KT), rigid tape (RT) and placebo tape (C). GMed activation was assessed using sEMG during the performance of such exercises as glute bridge, unilateral glute bridge, clamshell, pelvic drop and lunge. Each of the participants was examined three times—before taping, immediately after and 48 h after taping. Results: Before taping, the greatest GMed activation on the dominant side was noted in clamshell (54.12 %MVIC), whereas the lowest GMed activation was observed in glute bridge (36.35 %MVIC). The comparison of results obtained before and immediately after taping in all the groups revealed a statistically significant increase in GMed activation (p < 0.05), while the comparison of results achieved before and 48 h after taping showed significant differences in glute bridge in groups KT and RT. In all the groups, the differences in results obtained in the other exercises were not significant. Taking into account each of the applied exercises, at none of the three stages of examination were the differences between the groups significant. Conclusions: Regardless of the type of taping applied (KT, RT, C), a significant increase in GMed activation was noted in all the exercises immediately after taping. At none of the stages of examination were the differences between the groups significant.

“…Hand-grip strength of the dominant hand of the affected upper limb was assessed using the procedures performed in a recent study 32 where a Lafayette push hand-held dynamometer (model 01163, Lafayette Instrument Co., Lafayette, IN, USA) was used to measure hand grip strength in Kg. It is a validated and reliable tool for assessing hand isometric strength.…”

Purpose The main aim of the trial was to assess the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, fatigue, and stress in post-surgical breast cancer survivors. Methods Forty-seven females who had undergone unilateral post-mastectomy were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG; n = 24) and a control group (CG; n = 23). Both groups received aerobic exercise training. In addition, the intervention group received inspiratory muscle training 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure (Pimax) (Pemex), 6-minute walk test, Handgrip strength by hand-held dynamometer, Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), and Perceived Stress Scale pss 10 values were measured before the training and then at the eighth week for both groups. Results No differences were detected between the groups in terms of sample and clinical characteristics 8 weeks post-intervention. In favor of the intervention group, a significant difference with medium to high effect size was found in terms of Pimax, Pemax, FAS, PS, and 6MWT (p < 0.05). However, there was no difference in terms of handgrip strength (p-value: 0.072), with a medium effect size (0.070). Regarding within-group comparisons, IG exhibited substantial differences in all outcome measures (p < 0.05) compared to CG, with the exception of PImax and 6MWT. Conclusion In post-operative breast cancer survivors, respiratory muscle training combined with aerobic training increases respiratory muscle strength and functional ability while lowering stress and tiredness.

“…Previous studies have shown different tape application methods for improving hand grip strength [ 7 , 4 , 13 , 14 ]. In light of the previously established studies that addressed the long-term effects and application of different tapping techniques and considering the popularity of KT in the rehabilitation of hand injuries, the efficacy of KT in different population settings is needed [ 15 ]. However, the true immediate and localized effect of taping on grip strength is not yet apparent [ 16 , 17 ].…”

The current study aimed to assess the immediate and localized effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on hand grip strength. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 sedentary female university students (aged 18-23) divided into two groups of 30 subjects each. The experimental group received KT with 50% tension of the tape on the forearm and 100% tension on the hand, and the control group received a placebo application of KT (KT without tension on the hand and forearm). Hand grip strength was assessed before and immediately after applying KT using a hand-held dynamometer with a one-minute rest between trials. The experimental group detected a significant improvement in hand grip strength during the post-intervention stage compared to the control group (mean difference 9.72 Lbs; 95% CI, -12.90 to -6.54; P<0.05) with a medium effect size. In addition, a significant improvement in handgrip strength was observed between pre-intervention and post-intervention in the experimental group (mean difference 6.5 Lbs.; 95% CI, -7.58 to -5.42; P<0.05) with a high effect size. However, the control group failed to show significant improvement in handgrip strength between pre-and post-intervention (P=0.666). KT application on the hand and forearm immediately augmented the hand grip strength of the dominant hand in sedentary female university students.
