“…Cases related to NMT in this article include foot problems of athletes, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy hemiplegia and post-stroke upper limbs, and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome of the lower extremities. Case reports on multiple sclerosis indicated that NMT was able to affect the modulation of micro Ribonucleic Acids (miRNAs) during the rehabilitation phase (Vallelunga et al, 2017). The risk of impaired mobility also increases Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients in the elderly (6%/year), peripheral neuropathy (40%), history of stroke (123%), insulin therapy (117%), and arthritis (82%), which will affect Activities of Daily Living (ADL) (Bianchi et al, 2013;Bruce et al, 2005).…”

Aim: This study aims to identify nursing problems that can be assisted or resolved with neuromuscular taping, and to identify the characteristics of neuromuscular taping interventions in the field of nursing. Design: A narrative literature review. Methods: A journal search was conducted using the keywords "neuromuscular taping" to collect relevant articles published within the last five years from databases. The inclusion criteria were: randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental or case reports, participants aged over 17 years, full text articles, studies focusing on nursing problems, and written in English. Twelve journal articles were selected and analyzed using PICO, PEDro scale, ROBINS-I tool, and Pierson score, with a domain/class approach, and list of nursing diagnoses. Results: The results of the literature review indicated that most studies were conducted in Europe with adults and seniors as participants. There were eight randomized controlled trials reports with PEDro scores in a range of 8-9; one quasi-experimental study with ROBINS-I scale in a range of 2; and three case reports with Pierson scores in a range of 9-10 for two articles, and 6-8 for another. All articles provided results which could help with nursing problems. Conclusion: Neuromuscular taping can be applied for acute pain, chronic pain, impaired physical mobility, impaired walking, fatigue, and risk for unstable blood pressure.

“…Therefore, kinesiology tape is a valid method to decrease spasticity and related signs in a short time and make better stability and gait in chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries participants (9). Additionally, neuromuscular taping improved gait, balance, pain, and ability to walk and conduct daily activities in multiple sclerosis patients (21,22). The Ankle and leg balance -Significant statistical differences were observed before taping in all sensory organization test parameters between stroke and control groups (P < 0.05).…”

Context: Balance control results from multiple interactions between different systems: input from the visual, the somatosensory, and the vestibular systems are integrated and regulated by the central nervous system to ensure standing balance. One of the effective interventions is using ankle taping. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases. Evidence Acquisition: This study is a systematic review and databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Ovid, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for original scientific articles that were published between January 1990 to July 2018. Studies investigating the effect of therapeutic ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases were included. The PEDro quality scale was used to investigate the studies included; it investigates taping, balance, central nervous system disease. Results: Seven articles were included from 256 relevant articles. There were differences among the studies in terms of methodology, design, outcomes, sample size, procedure, etc. The results showed that using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement. Conclusions: Using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement in central nervous system diseases.

“…As result, local nociceptive and inflammatory mediators may be reabsorbed [ 112 ]. Other types of compressive treatments, such as neuromuscular taping, which also increase lymphatic and vascular flow, strengthening weakened muscles, led to the identification of a panel of miRNAs that changed with treatment in a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient [ 113 ]. Interestingly enough, some of these miRNAs have been shown to appear deregulated, both in FM [ 16 , 93 , 114 ] and in CFS/ME patients [ 88 ] suggesting that compressive treatments might provide therapeutic benefits for them as well.…”

Application of protocols without parameter standardization and appropriate controls has led manual therapy (MT) and other physiotherapy-based approaches to controversial outcomes. Thus, there is an urgency to carefully define standard protocols that elevate physiotherapy treatments to rigorous scientific demands. One way in which this can be achieved is by studying gene expression and physiological changes that associate to particular, parameter-controlled, treatments in animal models, and translating this knowledge to properly designed, objective, quantitatively-monitored clinical trials (CTs). Here, we propose a molecular physiotherapy approach (MPTA) requiring multidisciplinary teams, to uncover the scientific reasons behind the numerous reports that historically attribute health benefits to MT-treatments. The review focuses on the identification of MT-induced physiological and molecular responses that could be used for the treatment of fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). The systemic effects associated to mechanical-load responses are considered of particular relevance, as they suggest that defined, low-pain anatomic areas can be selected for MT treatment and yet yield overall benefits, an aspect that might result in it being essential to treat FM. Additionally, MT can provide muscle conditioning to sedentary patients without demanding strenuous physical effort, which is particularly detrimental for CFS/ME patients, placing MT as a real option for integrative medicine programs to improve FM and CFS/ME.
