“…Eccentric contractions cause more fatigue than contraction contractions. Kinesio taping can be considered a useful method for decreasing pain without any side effects in patients with osteoarthritis ( Abolhasani et al, 2019 ). Applying horseshoe taping to the upper and lower patellar with kinesiology tape is more helpful in immediate recovery after exercise-induced quadriceps fatigue ( Son et al, 2020 ).…”

This study examined the effects of Kinesio taping on recovery from fatigue induced by an exercise of concentric contraction using an isokinetic machine. Eight healthy collegiate students participated in two experiments: the Kinesio taping application condition and the no Kinesio taping application condition. The fatigue was induced by concentric exercise at 60°/sec, 50 repetitions for one session, and repeated 3 sessions. Changes of blood ammonia, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatinine kinase (CK) were monitored. Blood was collected before exercise, immediately after exercise, 24 hr after exercise, and 72 hr after exercise. Blood ammonia tended to reduce during the recovery pro-cess, but no differences were found between conditions. Blood lactate tended to reduce during the recovery process, but no differences were found between conditions. In the blood LDH, no differences were found between conditions. Blood creatine kinase tended to reduce during the recovery process, but no differences were found between conditions. The present results showed that Kinesio taping did not affect the recovery phase of blood ammonia, lactate concentration, LDH, and CK.

“…Taping has its impact on the skin, causing it to lift and wrinkle. As a result, blood and lymph flows are improved and harmful metabolites removed, which, in turn, contributes to a reduction of inflammation [7]. Moreover, taping improves microcirculation, reduces swelling, and improves healing of musculoskeletal injuries [7].…”

Kinesio taping (KT) is a method of elastic taping, created in the 1970s by a Japanese chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase. The aim of this study was to present KT techniques and its application in various fields of medicine, sports and rehabilitation. The publications used in this paper were sourced from the PubMed and the Google Scholar databases. The keywords used to search databases included KT, Kinesio taping, medicine, dentistry and sport. Based on this study, it can be concluded that KT is the most recommendable method. Its use is being increasingly popular in many fields of medicine. It can be considered as an alternative for painkillers, especially in patients for whom the use of painkillers is not advisable or ineffective due to their condition. KT is well tolerated by patients and saves time; therefore, its use should be taken into account in various medical environments. In order to use this method, one should complete specialized courses, which, on the one hand, provide theoretical basis for its use, and on the other hand, teach how to choose original tapes in a practical way, as well as apply appropriate techniques in order to observe and compare the effects of one’s work – therapy and treatment.

“…22,23 The physiological effects of KT have been assumed lifting the skin to increases the inter-tissue space and improves blood and lymph circulation, 20 "Gate-control of pain", and through "Neurofacilitation" on a human body system. 24 However, the current evidence regarding its effectiveness appear to be unclear and debatable in reducing pain, improving range of motion and preventing functional disability when compared to other forms of intervention in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders. 23,[25][26][27][28] Given the lack of consistency and resulted uncertainty regarding the clinical worthiness of KT in parameters of pain, range of motion, functional disability among subjects with knee OA, there is still a need for current evidence with high-quality trials in a systematic way.…”

The purpose of this review was to summarize the current best evidence for the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in reducing pain and increasing knee function for patients with knee osteoarthritis. A comprehensive search of literature published between 2014 and 2019 was conducted using the following electronic databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct, and Scopus. Only randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of Kinesio Taping on knee osteoarthritis were included. PEDro was used to assess the risk of bias of included trials. This study was reported according to the guideline of the PRISMA statement. The methodological quality of the studies was done using the PEDro scale and GRADE approach. The overall quality of evidence was rated from moderate to high. Eighteen randomized trials involving 876 patients were included. The present systematic review demonstrated that there were significant differences between Kinesio Taping groups and control groups in terms of visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scale and flexion range of motion. Kinesio Taping is effective in improving pain and joint function in patients with knee OA.
