“…Although splinting is a conventional treatment for acute sprain, the use of KT significantly reduced the congestion of lymphatic fluids compared with splinting [53]. Furthermore, KT also had positive effects on range of motion [53]. We speculate that KT restricts the joint structures less than splinting and, along with muscle activation during the healing process of inflammation, the use of KT could facilitate the movement of lymphatic fluid, consequently improving lymphatic flow.…”

“…Regarding the effectiveness of KT in pediatric patients with acute PIP joint sprains, both the KT and splint groups had some positive effects on the circumference compared with before treatment [53].

Furthermore, KT also had positive effects on range of motion [53].…”

“…They asserted that considering the structural differences of the swelling, KT did not influence the active inflammatory phase because high levels of protein or transudate were exuded during the healing process of acute inflammation [48].

Athletic tape Edema Musculoskeletal diseases SwellingBackground: The application of Kinesio tape (KT) has become an alternative treatment for the reduction of edema owing to its distinct characteristics that mimic skin behavior. Although many studies have found that KT application has a positive effect on edema related to breast cancer and rehabilitation following mandibular third molar surgery, there is little evidence to support the use of KT for musculoskeletal injuries. Objects:The purpose of this study was to review the literature related to KT application for reducing edema caused by musculoskeletal disorders.Methods: A literature search (July 2022) was performed on PubMed for articles published between January 2012 and June 2022. The following keywords were used: "Kinesio taping," "Kinesio tape," "swelling," and "edema," with different combinations and derivations. Only articles available in English were included in this study.Results: Among 68 identified studies, seven met our search strategy and criteria and were included in the literature review. Five of these studies investigated musculoskeletal disorders of the knee joint; two of them reported that KT application had a positive effect on edema measured using perimetry following total knee replacement and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, the KT application did not improve swelling in patients with acute lateral ankle sprains. Pediatric patients with acute proximal phalangeal joint sprain experienced a more significant improvement in the reduction of swelling than the group using a splint. Conclusion:This literature review found discrepant evidence to support using KT for edema control in musculoskeletal disorders. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of KT for controlling edema following musculoskeletal injuries.

“…Kinesio taping (Kinesio Group LLC) may provide a lightweight and flexible option to prevent reinjuries and discomfort in players with frequent contact with the ball. In a study by Serbest et al 21 comparing Kinesio taping and splint treatment among child athletes with proximal interphalangeal joint sprains, taping was found to have higher patient compliance and better outcomes in terms of edema, joint range of motion, and night pain. In addition, maintenance of strength and flexibility in the fingers may help improve athletes' ability to absorb impact through their hands.…”

Background: Hand and wrist injuries (HWIs) are common in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball players and can negatively affect performance. There is limited literature available on this topic. Purpose: To open a discussion on prevention strategies and encourage future research on HWIs in basketball athletes. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: HWIs sustained by male and female NCAA basketball players during the 2009-2010 through 2013-2014 academic years and reported to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program (NCAA-ISP) database were utilized to characterize the epidemiology thereof. Rates and distributions of HWIs were identified within the context of mechanism of injury, injury recurrence, and time lost from sport. Results: Over the 5-year period, 81 HWIs in women and 171 HWIs in men were identified through the NCAA-ISP database. These were used to estimate 3515 HWIs nationally in women’s basketball athletes and 7574 HWIs nationally in men’s basketball athletes. The rate of HWIs in women was 4.20 per 10,000 athlete-exposures (AEs) and in men was 7.76 per 10,000 AEs, making men 1.85 times more likely to sustain HWIs compared with women. In men, HWIs were 3.31 times more likely to occur in competition compared with practice, while in women, HWIs were 2.40 times more likely to occur in competition than in practice. Based on position, guards, both men and women, were the most likely to suffer HWIs. Conclusion: HWIs were common in collegiate basketball players. Most injuries were new, and the majority of players were restricted from participation for less than 24 hours. Men were more likely to be injured compared with women, and injuries were most common in the setting of competition for both sexes. The majority of injuries was considered minor and did not extensively limit participation; however, prevention and detection remain important for optimal performance.
