“…This is reflected through out the current literature on KT research, that guarded positive findings are being made, but not necessarily validating the original hypothesis of the developers. A look through recent research found that: there is evidence KT could have a positive effect on muscle fatigue resistance (Zhang et al, 2015), KT doesn't reduce postoperative pain following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (Laborie et al, 2015), and, published later in this Prevention and Rehabilitation section of the JBMT, 'assumptions suggesting that peripheral to distal application of KT stimulates muscle and distal to peripheral relaxes the muscle, seem to be false but application of KT in various directions can affect muscle strength (Vered et al, 2016).…”

An athlete making an explosive movement puts extremely high loads through the contractile and non-contractile musculo-tendinous elements attached to their skeletal structure. The ensuing movement of their skeleton accelerate their trunk or limbs, which, during a change in direction, need to tolerate a rapid deceleration while maintaining appropriate balance, dynamic joint position and control, placing stress on capsules, ligaments and fascia.and this continues through out the duration of their event or training session. Once control becomes compromised due to fatigue, repetition, or a loss of focus, amongst a plethora of other factors, the control of movement or load may result in injuries that can range from minor to major, painless to painful, micro to macro. As long as motivation is still present, and the stakes are high enough, an athlete can choose to put their pain aside, and continue. 'It is not pain that finally stops them, elite athletes are often able to move beyond pain,' says Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Ryan Kendrick, when interviewed in Leiden, Netherlands in November 2015,' what stops them is tissue failure and tissues don't fail because of pain, they fail because of overload. In the literature there is a poor correlation between tissue damage and pain.' (Beecher, 1946; Moseley, 2007). Kendrick says, 'The inability to adequately dissipate or accommodate load is strongly implicated in conditions such as tendinopathy and may also result in compensation strategies and maladaptive behaviour' (Soslowsky et al., 2002, Cook and Purdham, 2009). The role of a physical therapist in sport not only encompasses preparation of the athlete in training, managing current injuries to reduce the risk of exacerbation preevent and the rehabilitation post injury, but it is also significantly focused at the field of play, providing strategies to solve the problems that present during the event. Kendrick, while working in the United Kingdom identified a problem. How to manage load. Kendrick says, 'Certain measures such as building in adequate adaptation and recovery periods into the training schedule, manipulating The ubiquitous tape combination 'Leukotape P,' and its under-tape, 'Fixomull' (designed to reduce the risk of skin reactions due to its hypoallergenic adhesive) and manufactured by BSN medical, was marketed to therapists treating patello-femoral pain syndrome using the McConnell patella taping techniques she first described in the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy (McConnell, 1986).

“…Specifically, the stimulation of primary sensory endings of spindles, which are sensitive to velocity of stretch, may favor the generation of rapid responses to answer unexpected variations of muscle length along the flexion trajectory [29]. The result is augmented control of the wrist's descending phase that may favor the coordination between flexion movement and the auditory stimulus, especially in a repetitive task in which fatigue may reduce motor control and the precision of movement [43]. Furthermore, KT's effectiveness is high to such an extent that participants performing slower movements (500-ms IOI) with KT are brought to the level of precision reached in performances of faster movements (400-ms IOI) without KT ( • ▶ Fig.…”

Effect of Direction and Tension of Kinesio Taping Application on Sensorimotor Coordination

et al. 2016

The present study investigates whether different directions and tensions of Kinesio(®) Tex tape (KT) application differently influence the precision of sensorimotor synchronization, defined as the ability to coordinate actions with predictable external events. 10 healthy participants performed sets of repetitive wrist flexion-extensions synchronized to a series of paced audio stimuli with an inter-onset interval (IOI) of 500 and 400 ms. KT was applied over the wrist and finger extensor muscles. 2 facilitatory (light and moderate tension) and one inhibitory KT applications were used in different sessions. Standard deviation of the asynchrony (SDasy) and percentage difference of SDasy were calculated and compared across KT and the no-KT control cases. Direction and tension of KT application did not differently influence the ability to coordinate rhythmic movements to an auditory stimulus. However, compared with the no-KT control case, SDasy decreased significantly in all KT cases in both 500- and 400-ms IOI. Independent of direction/tension, the effect of KT on improving sensorimotor synchronization is likely associated with variations in the nature of the neuro-anatomical constraints determining the control of voluntary movement. KT is then proposed to be tested on sensorimotor disorders associated with intense repetitive exercise to check for regaining effective motor control.

“…No entanto, existem autores que discordam da ação efetiva do KT sobre a melhora na performance muscular 11 , relatam que este método pode não ser capaz de modular um incremento da força muscular em atletas saudáveis, mas pode produzir efeito positivo na redução da fadiga muscular. Outro estudo 12 , de revisão sistemática, encontrou resultados interessantes sobre os efeitos do KT.…”

Efeito Da Kinesio Taping No Desempenho Do Salto Horizontal E Vertical Em Atletas Recreacionais De Voleibol

O objetivo deste trabalho concentra-se em avaliar os efeitos da Kinesio Taping na potência dos membros inferiores após 24, 48 e 72 horas de aplicação da bandagem, bem como 24 horas após a sua retirada. Trata-se de estudo experimental, com 40 atletas, divididos em grupo placebo (GP) e grupo Kinesio Taping (GKT). Foram avaliados o Single-Leg Hop Test, salto em distância e o teste de impulsão vertical, durante cinco dias consecutivos. Utilizou-se os testes ANOVA, t Student e Mann-Whitney (p ≤ 0,05). No grupo GKT não houve aumento da potência dos membros inferiores ao longo dos dias de uso do KT. Porém, quando comparado ao GP, mostrou-se superior para os três saltos. No Single-Leg Hop Test houve melhora após 72 horas de aplicação e 24 horas após a retirada do KT. Para o salto em distância houve melhora durante 24, 48 e 72 horas após a aplicação do KT e 24 horas após a sua retirada. E o teste de impulsão vertical apenas melhorou após 24, 48 e 72 horas de aplicação do KT. Assim, o KT não mostrou melhora da potência durante os dias, porém apresentou superioridade quando comparado ao GP.
