Kinesiology taping with exercise does not provide additional improvement in round shoulder subjects with impingement syndrome: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial

Effectiveness of kinesiotaping in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

“…A total of 109 studies were found through the electronic searches. Finally, 16 studies met our eligibility criteria and were included in the SR 12,29‐43 …”

“…A total of 109 studies were found through the electronic searches. Finally, 16 studies met our eligibility criteria and were included in the SR. 12,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] The kappa agreement rate between reviewers was 0.91. The value represents only the 2% (approximately three studies) of discrepancy.…”

“…The RoB 2 assessment for all clinical trials is presented in Figures 2 and 3. For the overall risk of bias, 52.9% of the clinical trials were rated as high risk of bias, 12,33,35,37,38,[40][41][42][43] 41.2% were rated as some concerns, [30][31][32]34,36,39 and 5.9% were rated as low risk of bias. 29 In the randomization process, 52.9% of the clinical trials were rated as high risk of bias.…”

Effect of Kinesio Taping on Hand Sensorimotor Control and Brain Activity

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that Kinesio taping can improve muscle strength, proprioception and performance [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, there were some studies that failed to find significant improvements in sensorimotor control with Kinesio taping [10,11]. In fact, a recent systemic review indicated that there is still a lack of compelling evidence for the effectiveness of Kinesio taping in sports performance [12].…”
