“…Our results demonstrated no or little changes in grip strength of the dominant hand immediately, 30 and 60 minutes after KT in the forearm extensor and flexor areas compared to placebo KT, which is compatible with most recent power grip studies (15,16,(20)(21)(22). As well, the findings of several studies on the strength of other muscles, with the exception of hand grip muscles did not suggest beneficial effects for KT (23,24). The metaanalysis conducted by Csapo et al also announced that KT has no or negligible impact on muscle performance (17).…”

Background: Hand grip plays a fundamental role in most daily and athletic activities of the upper extremities. Objectives: The study compared the effect of various methods of forearm Kinesio-taping (KT) on the hand grip strength and endurance of Iranian elite squash players during their sporting activities at different times. Methods: Thirty-three female squash players were assigned to a quasi-experimental study, and KT was applied on their dominant forearm (on the flexor area, on the extensor area, and placebo taping). Grip strength was evaluated before, immediately, 30, and 60 minutes after KT, and grip endurance was also assessed before and 60 minutes after KT using MIE digital grip analyzer. Friedman and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze the results of grip strength, and ANOVA and the sample t-test were applied to analyze the grip endurance data. Results: The findings revealed no significant differences within the grip strength at different phases (P > 0.05). However, p values for the outcomes of KT on the flexor area‎, KT on the extensor area‎, and placebo mode were respectively 0.145, 0.178, 0.065 in each phase of the evaluation. A significant difference ‎among KT groups and the LSD test revealed a significant increase in grip endurance in the mode of KT on the extensor area, whereas there have been no significant differences in grip endurance in KT on flexor (P = 0.785) and extensor (P = 0.457) areas. Conclusions: There was no obvious superiority of the various methods of forearm ‎ KT ‎ on grip strength at different times; nevertheless, KT was an efficient method for retaining grip endurance in squash players with no significant differences between the flexor and extensor locations.

“…These results, however, are consistent with recent findings of no strength enhancing effects immediately following KT in healthy populations. Several studies could not find positive effects of KT on muscle strength in healthy participants for different muscle groups (Cai et al., 2016; Karahan et al., 2017; Strutzenberger et al., 2016; Vercelli et al., 2012), and even a recent meta‐analysis concluded that KT to facilitate muscular contraction had no or only negligible effects on muscle strength (Csapo & Alegre, 2015). However, there are a few recent studies that have investigated the effects of KT on muscle endurance that have suggested that KT influences processes that lead to muscle fatigue positively.…”

Kinesio taping (KT) is a commonly used intervention in sports and, recently, KT has become popular among athletes competing in sport climbing and bouldering events. However, evidence on the effect of KT on grip strength and endurance is still controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate effects of KT on muscular strength and endurance of the finger flexor muscles in sport climbers. Twenty recreationally-trained active sport climbers (10 men, 10 women) aged 28.5 ± 10.6 years performed one familiarisation trial and subsequently, in a randomised crossover design, two test trials either with (TAPE) or without (CONTROL) KT over the finger flexor muscles. Test trials consisted of three performance measurements (hand grip strength and endurance, finger hang, and lap climbing) at intervals of 48 h in a randomised order. We observed no significant differences in the parameters of hand grip peak force, fatigue index, finger hang time, lap climbing distance and time, or maximum blood lactate values after lap climbing between the TAPE and CONTROL trials (p > 0.05). The participants' climbing ability was significantly correlated with the intra-individual performance changes between the TAPE and CONTROL conditions for the fatigue index (r = −0.598, p = 0.005), but not in any of the other performance-related parameters. Therefore, KT over the finger flexor muscles neither enhanced hand grip strength and endurance nor the sport climbing performance parameters of finger hang, lap climbing distance and time, and maximum blood lactate values after lap climbing.

Kas iskelet sistemi bozukluklarında kinezyobantlama (KT) sıklıkla kullanılmasına rağmen, inme hastalarında etkinliği hakkında yeterli veri yoktur. Birkaç çalışmada inme hastalarında KT'in alt ekstremite fonksiyonlarına, üst ekstremite lenfödem ve refleks sempatik distrofideki etkisi değerlendirilmiş fakat bildiğimiz kadarıyla el fonksiyonlarına etkisi üzerine ise çalışma yoktur. Bu çalışmamızın amacı hemiplejik hastalarda KT uygulamanın el fonksiyonlarına akut dönem etkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza son 1 yıl içinde iskemik/hemorajik inme geçiren 20 hasta dâhil edildi. Tüm hastalara 3 gün süreli toplamda 3 kez önkol ekstansör kas bölgesine KT uygulaması yapıldı. Tüm hastaların demografik özellikleri (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim, sigara kullanımı, diyabet (DM), hipertansiyon (HT), serebrovasküler hastalık tipi ve süresi, hemiplejik taraf, dominant el) kayıt edildi.
