“…In females, it was observed that the increase in strength of 90 minutes was maximum (23.9%) (Mohammadi et al, 2014). In a study applied to forearm muscles in healthy individuals, they stated that Y-shape kinesio taping had positive effects on hand grip strength (Cha et al, 2016). In a study investigating the effect of the application direction of kinesio taping on hand grip strength in healthy female individuals, it was revealed that the taping from the bottom up (insersio to origo) was not effective in the perception of hand grip strength (Hosseini et al, 2019).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate and delayed effects of the kinesio-taping on the hand grip strength. Six-teen female volleyball players currently competing in Turkey Women’s Volleyball 2nd league (age 18.1±2.3 years, height 172.9±7.3 cm) voluntarily participated in this study. In cross-over research design, all participants participated in a total of 4 different measurements, immediately after kinesio-taping (1), immediately after placebo taping (2), after volleyball training (3), 48h post taping (4). In kinesio-taping, approximately 2-3 cm ends of kinesio-tapes were applied without tension, and the middle region was stretched by approximately 10-15% in “Y-shape”. Hand grip strength measurements were made 4 times on different days that before kinesio-taping, immediately after kinesio-taping, immediately after training and 48 hours after taping with a portable handheld dynamometer. According to the results of the one-way repeated measures ANOVA, the kinesio-taping to forearm didn’t elicit any significant changes in hand grip strength over the conditions (p > 0.05). The results of the current study showed that the kinesio-taping in female volleyball players did not have a significant effect on immediate, right after training and 48 hours after taping, compared to placebo taping measurements in dominant and non-dominant maximal hand grip strength.

“…The immediate effects of elastic tape application on maximal muscle strength in healthy individuals have conflicting results. While some studies have reported that elastic tape application increases hand grip and hip extensor strength 8 , 18 , 19 ) , others have demonstrated that it does not affect ankle dorsiflexion strength 8 ) . The lack of effects on PFS in this study may be attributed to two reasons.…”

“…First, the elastic tape was not applied to the major muscles responsible for plantar flexion of the ankle. In three previous studies that have reported increases in maximal muscle strength, an elastic tape was applied along the wrist extensors 18 , 19 ) and gluteus maximus 8 ) . The method used in this study which was the application of an elastic tape to the foot sole may not have sufficiently enhanced the strength of the triceps surae muscle that causes plantar flexion of the ankle.…”

[Purpose] In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of elastic tape in increasing the dorsiflexion angle and plantar flexor strength in healthy individuals. [Participants and Methods] This randomized controlled trial included 24 healthy university students who were categorized into the following groups (12 participants in each group): the intervention group (elastic tape was applied to the dominant foot) and the control group (no intervention was performed). We performed intergroup comparison of the pre- and post-intervention dorsiflexion angles and plantar flexor strength. Additionally, we performed subgroup analyses based on a straight-leg raise angle of 70°. [Results] We observed no significant intergroup differences in the dorsiflexion angle or plantar flexor strength. However, the post-intervention dorsiflexion angle was significantly greater than the pre-intervention angle in the subgroup with a straight-leg raise angle of <70° among participants in the elastic tape group. [Conclusion] Elastic tape application may effectively increase the dorsiflexion angle in individuals without hamstring extensibility.

“…In a previous study, taping on skin increased muscle activity and increased joint stability, thus protecting the joint by reducing pressure on it. Third, taping on skin right on the muscle restricts muscle hypertension by stimulating the agonist muscles and decreases local pain through neurological and dynamic stimulation 13 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of study was to investigate the effect of taping applied before magnetic field therapy. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty patients who diagnosed with knee arthritis by a specialist in the rehabilitation department were divided into three groups using the random allocation method. The control group received 15 min general physiotherapy. For the experimental group 1, non-elastic taping was applied to the medial side of the knee after general physiotherapy, followed by a 15 min magnetic field therapy. For the experimental group 2, elastic taping was applied to the medial side of the knee after general physiotherapy, followed by a 15 min magnetic field therapy. This study used visual analog scale to evaluate pain. This study used Western Ontario and McMaster Universities to evaluate the knee function. [Results] Experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 showed a significant difference visual analog scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities from the control group. However, no significant difference was observed between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2. [Conclusion] Choosing the applicable taping method according to the condition of the patients and applying it to therapy is necessary to reduce pain and improve the function of the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
