“…In therapy and physiotherapy, particularly in the case of ankle joint injuries, the priority is to eliminate swelling and pain and then, to shape and normalize postural stability through the appropriate selection of methods and types of surfaces. Reports from the literature have confirmed that kinesiology taping that is applied to ankle complex can improve not only static but also dynamic balance control [48], while dynamic tape can improve functional performance [49]. On the stable surface in our study, the mean radius of sways changed the most after the application of dynamic tape in the test with eyes open, although the results were not statistically significant.…”

We aimed to investigate changes in postural stability on a stable surface after the application of dynamic tape for patients with inversion ankle sprains. This study enrolled 30 patients (age 25.5 ± 8.0 years) with grade I and II ankle sprains, which occurred 7–21 days before enrolment. Postural stability (balance, coordination, feedback) was assessed before and after the application of dynamic tape using a stabilographic platform. Three 32-s exercises were performed on the stabilographic platform, one with eyes open, one with eyes closed and one with visual feedback. After the application of dynamic tape, an improvement was observed in terms of the mean radius of sway (4.2 ± 1.3 mm vs. 3.4 ± 0.9 mm; p = 0.012) and coordination (48.8 ± 19.2% vs. 59.3 ± 5.8%; p = 0.021). Selected balance parameters did not improve significantly in the tests with open and closed eyes. Asymmetric load improved for all tests, but significant differences were only observed with eyes closed (34.9 ± 24.4 vs. 41.7 ± 30.5; p < 0.01). We concluded that the use of dynamic tape after an ankle sprain significantly improved balance and coordination on a stable surface. The benefits were shown in terms of a significant improvement in the asymmetric load of the injured limb in comparison to the healthy limb during the test with closed eyes and a considerable improvement in the asymmetric load that was evaluated with visual feedback on a stable surface.

Background: Gluteus medius muscle (GMed) dysfunctions may be associated with pain and functional problems in the lumbar spine and lower limbs. The study sought to assess the effects of applying kinesio taping (KT) and rigid taping (RT) on GMed in the dominant leg of healthy individuals. Furthermore, an attempt was made to indicate which of the applied exercises brought about the greatest activation of GMed. Methods: The study included 90 individuals, with an average age of 21.79. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: kinesio tape (KT), rigid tape (RT) and placebo tape (C). GMed activation was assessed using sEMG during the performance of such exercises as glute bridge, unilateral glute bridge, clamshell, pelvic drop and lunge. Each of the participants was examined three times—before taping, immediately after and 48 h after taping. Results: Before taping, the greatest GMed activation on the dominant side was noted in clamshell (54.12 %MVIC), whereas the lowest GMed activation was observed in glute bridge (36.35 %MVIC). The comparison of results obtained before and immediately after taping in all the groups revealed a statistically significant increase in GMed activation (p < 0.05), while the comparison of results achieved before and 48 h after taping showed significant differences in glute bridge in groups KT and RT. In all the groups, the differences in results obtained in the other exercises were not significant. Taking into account each of the applied exercises, at none of the three stages of examination were the differences between the groups significant. Conclusions: Regardless of the type of taping applied (KT, RT, C), a significant increase in GMed activation was noted in all the exercises immediately after taping. At none of the stages of examination were the differences between the groups significant.

“…8 Two studies have examined multidirectional elastic tape in the lower limb. 12,13 After applying tensioned and untensioned tape over the gluteus medius muscle in healthy women, one study found no significant between-or within-group differences in hopping performance (distance or time), or gluteus medius muscle activity during functional tasks. 12 Conversely, Robinson et al 13 reported significantly lower pain following application of tensioned and untensioned tape, compared to baseline measures in women with greater trochanteric pain syndrome.…”

Objective To investigate the effects of multidirectional elastic tape on pain and function in individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy. Study Design Randomised crossover trial. Setting Biomechanics laboratory. Subjects 27 participants (11 females, mean (SD) age: 48.6 (11.9) years) with clinically diagnosed lateral elbow tendinopathy of at least six weeks’ duration. Interventions Tensioned multidirectional elastic tape applied over the wrist, compared to control tape (untensioned), and no tape conditions. Main measures Pain-free grip strength and pressure pain threshold were recorded at three timepoints for each condition: baseline, post-application, and following an exercise circuit. Change scores were calculated as the post-application or post-exercise value minus baseline. Repeated-measure analyses of variance were used to examine differences between conditions. Results There were no statistically significant differences in pain-free grip strength between conditions (flexed position: F2,52 = 0.02, p = 0.98; extended position: F2,52 = 2.26, p = 0.12) or across timepoints (post-application vs post-exercise) (flexed position: F1,26 = 0.94, p = 0.34; extended position: F1,26 = 0.79, p = 0.38). Seven participants (26%) increased pain-free grip strength above the minimal detectable change following application of multidirectional elastic tape. There were no statistically significant differences in pressure pain threshold between conditions (affected lateral epicondyle: F1.51,39.17 = 0.54, p = 0.54) or across timepoints (affected lateral epicondyle: F1,26 = 0.94, p = 0.34). Conclusion Tensioned multidirectional elastic tape may not immediately improve pain-free grip strength or pressure pain threshold in our lateral elbow tendinopathy population; however, individual variation may exist.
