“…Four studies provide rather clear statistical evidence for an advantage of kinesiotaping: the study of Tozzi et al [21] considering a single outcome, and the studies by Ristow et al [16,19,20] which indicate an increasing difference over time, reaching significance at day 2 the latest. Also in the study by Donec et al [22], we can recognize significant differences concerning three of the four outcomes at several follow-up time points, in the study of Gülenc [17] for two of four outcomes at several time points, and in the study of Balki et al [14] for two outcomes on day 10.…”

Background: Postoperative oedema is a common condition affecting wound healing and function. Traditionally, manual lymphatic drainage is employed to reduce swelling. Kinesiotaping might be an alternative resource-sparing approach. This article explores current evidence for the effectiveness of kinesiotaping for the reduction of oedema in the postoperative setting. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on the basis of five databases (Pubmed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov) for studies published between January 2000 and October 2019. Only prospective controlled trials were included. Case studies, uncontrolled case series, studies on oedema caused by other etiologies than by surgery, as well as studies on malignant disease related oedema (especially breast cancer related oedema) were excluded. Articles were screened by title, abstract, and full text and the references were searched for further publications on the topic. A narrative and quantitative (using STATA) analysis was performed.Results: One thousand two hundred sixty-three articles were screened, twelve were included in the analysis. All studies evaluated either oedema after extremity surgery or maxillofacial interventions, and showed relevant methodological flaws. Only three studies employed an active comparator. Of the twelve included studies ten found positive evidence for kinesiotape application for the reduction of swelling and beneficial effects on secondary outcome parameters such as pain and patient satisfaction. The available trials were heterogenic in pathology and all were compromised by a high risk of bias.Conclusion: There is some evidence for the efficacy of kinesiotaping for the treatment of postoperative oedema. This evidence is, however, not yet convincing given the limitations of the published trials. Methodologically sound comparison to standard of care or an active comparator is indispensable for an evaluation of effectiveness. In addition, assessments of patient comfort and cost-benefit analyses are necessary to evaluate the potential relevance of this novel technique in daily practice.Systematic review registration number: International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) ID 114129).

Assessment of the kinesiotherapy’s efficacy in male athletes with calcaneal apophysitis

et al. 2017

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of kinesiotherapy used for treating various disorders in athletes on pain and pedal functions in patients with calcaneal apophysitis. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study included 22 patients with calcaneal apophysitis aged 8 to 16 years presenting with heel pain among junior athletes of a professional football club. The patients were randomly grouped into two groups, with one group receiving sham tape only and the other kinesio tape. American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were recorded before and after the treatment. Results: The preoperative VAS score of the kinesio tape was 7, and AOFAS score was 62.4; the corresponding figures of the sham group were 6.81 and 70.5, respectively. The kinesio-tape group had a better AOFAS scores at 1st and 3rd month (p < 0.05). Posttreatment AOFAS score was 99.7 ± 0.9 for the kinesio-tape group and 97.4 ± 3.9 for the sham-tape group. Posttreatment VAS score was 0.1 ± 0.3 for the kinesio-tape group and 0.4 ± 0.5 for the sham-tape group (p > 0.05). Discussion: Conservative treatment modalities are preferentially used for its treatment. Kinesiotherapy is one of the treatment methods for the apophysitis. In the literature, our study is the first prospective randomized trial on the efficacy of kinesio taping in calcaneal apophysitis. Conclusions: Although kinesio taping can be effectively used for the restoration of ankle functions of athletes with calcaneal apophysitis, its role in pain is limited. Since it lacks serious side effects, it can be used in combination with or as an alternative to pharmacological treatment in this patient group.

Bu çalışmalarda, öncelikle ön çapraz bağ yaralanmalarındaki akut problemlerde, ödemin azaltılması ve kuadriseps kas fonksiyonuna destek için (Şekil 1) fasilitasyon tekniği uygulamaları yapılmış, 72 saat sonra ağrının azalmasına yönelik bulgular görülmüştür.…”

Kinesio Taping (KT) is commonly used in sports injuries, in rehabilitation of orthopaedic, neurologic, oncologic and paediatric patients. It can be used to reduce pain, increase range of motion, facilitate or inhibit muscle activity and improve proprioception. Although the mechanism of action is unclear, it is believed that activation of the cutaneous receptors could influence neuromuscular functions. The use of KT decreases pain in most of soft tissue pathologies. More high-quality researches with long-term follow-ups are required to validate the effects of KT for pain relief, promotion of circulation and relief of muscle spasm. Future studies are required to ensure methodological quality like blinding of subjects and clinicians as well as the presence of a placebo-taping group.
