“…Among the intervention methods aimed at minimizing instability, the neuromuscular elastic bandage (NEB) stands out, widely used in various areas of rehabilitation and especially in the sports community in various modalities (8,9) . Although studies that tested the effectiveness of NEB on dysfunction in athletes present controversies, recent research has indicated positive effects in the short term period on reducing pain and increasing the ROM of the glenohumeral joint and cervical spine (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) , and improved performance in MTP&RehabJournal 2017, 15: 480 sports that require efforts with repetitive movement and high intensity characteristics (9,(15)(16)(17) . Additionally, the method is described as capable of generating improvement in local circulation, a reduction in edema, facilitation or relaxation of muscles, and improving joint position and proprioception due to optimization of the sensory mechanism (7)(8)18) , characteristics which contribute to improving athletic performance.…”

Background: Recent investigations in handball athletes point to the need to carry out rehabilitation programs that aim to improve the instability of the glenohumeral joint, widely used in the various tasks of this modality. Objectives: To evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of a neurofunctional elastic bandage (NEB) on muscular strength, range of motion and pain intensity in the glenohumeral joint in handball athletes with shoulder dysfunction. Method: This study was composed of 20 professional male handball athletes who presented shoulder pain at rest and dysfunction of the shoulder, divided into two groups; experimental (n = 10) and placebo (n = 10). Before and one hour after the application of NEB the following were evaluated: maximal isometric muscular strength during movements of the glenohumeral joint (load cell), the range of motion (ROM) of the glenohumeral joint (fleximetry), pain intensity in the shoulder at rest and during movement, and the pressure pain threshold (algometry). NEB was maintained for 72 hours in all volunteers, during which a diary of shoulder pain was recorded for the short-term assessment. We used the ANOVA two-way repeated measures considering the possibility of group by time interaction, adopting a 5% level for significant differences. The treatment effect size was analyzed by means of Cohen's d values. Results: There was no group by time interaction for any of the variables (p> 0.05), however, there was a large effect of the treatment for reducing pain in the experimental group after the application of NEB in the short-term period (d = 0.83). Conclusion: There were no significant effects on muscular strength, range of motion or pain intensity in the shoulder in handball athletes immediately after implementation of NEB.

“…To this end, the application of tape is extensively used. Two types of tape of different elastic properties have been used in shoulder rehabilitation; Rigid [Ackermann et al, 2002, Alexander et al, 2003, Cools et al, 2002, Host, 1995, Kalter et al, Lewis et al, 2005b, McConnell et al, Selkowitz et al, 2007, Smith et al, 2009 and Elastic taping techniques [Bradley et al, 2009, Garcia-Muro et al, 2010, Hsu et al, 2009, Kase, 2003, Kaya et al, 2011, Lin et al, 2011, Thelen et al, 2008.…”

Many people continue suffering from myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) defined as a regional pain syndrome characterized by muscle pain caused by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) clinically. Muscle spasm and block of blood circulation can be noticed in the taut bands. In the MTrP region, nociceptors can be sensitized by the peripheral inflammatory factors and contracture of fascia can also be induced. Traditional treatments of MPS include stretching therapy, thermal treatment, electrical stimulation, massage, manipulation, trigger points injection, acupuncture, and medicine. However, the pain syndrome may not be relieved even under multiple therapies. Recently, the Kinesio Taping (KT) method is popularly used in sports injuries, postoperative complications, and various pain problems, but little research is focused on MPS with KT method. In this paper, we review the research studies on the application to KT in treating MPS and other related issues. It appears that the KT application can elevate the subcutaneous space and then increase the blood circulation and lymph fluid drainage to reduce the chemical factors around the MTrP region. Therefore, it is suggested that KT method can be used as a regular treatment or added to the previous treatment for myofascial pain.
