“…This study showed a change of > 2 degrees from the baseline to 7 days of post-Kinesio™ tape application in all the movement directions we tested. Several authors have demonstrated improvement in pain following the Kinesio™ tape application [17,[26][27][28][29][30].…”

Background Neck proprioception is critical in maintaining neuromuscular control in and around cervical joints. Kinesio™ tape may assist in rehabilitating joint position sense. The current study compares Kinesio™ tape’s effects versus a placebo on proprioception in college athletes experiencing mechanical neck pain. Methods This study randomized sixty-six athletes with mechanical neck pain into a Kinesio™ tape group (n = 33, mean age = 22.73 years) or placebo group (n = 33, mean age = 23.15 years). The Kinesio™ tape group received standard Kinesio™ taping applications with appropriate tension, while the placebo group received taping applications without tension. Outcome measures: The study assessed cervical joint position errors with a cervical range-of-motion (CROM) device, pain intensity with a visual analog scale (VAS), and neck functional disability with a neck disability index (NDI). It tested joint position errors through cervical flexion, extension, rotation left, and rotation right. All the outcome measures were recorded at the baseline and twice more following 3 and 7 days of tape applications. Results Multivariate analysis of variance test demonstrated a significant reduction in joint position errors in flexion, extension and right rotation following 3 days and 7 days of tape application among the Kinesio™ tape group. There was a significant main effect of time (P < 0.05) for joint position errors in left rotation and VAS after 3 days (p > 0.05), NDI after 3 and 7 days (p > 0.05). Conclusions The Kinesio™ tape application after 3 and 7 days effectively decreased joint position errors and neck pain intensity in mechanical neck pain participants compared to placebo, while there was no difference between both groups in the NDI. Trial registration (CTRI/2011/07/001925). This study was retrospectively registered on the 27th July, 2011. Level of evidence IIB

“…The reason for this instability was explained with impairment of the proprioceptive mechanism of ACL. 8 The outer and middle third of the meniscus have free nerve endings. Many studies try to explain the correlation between free nerve endings and proprioception of the meniscus.…”

Purpose: Aim of our study was to compare the effects of partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair on knee proprioception and function. Methods: The study included 46 patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of meniscal tear and accompanying anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The patients were evaluated under two groups: group 1: partial meniscectomy and ACL reconstruction, and group 2: meniscal repair and ACL reconstruction. Proprioceptive and functional evaluation of all patients was performed prior to surgery and on postoperative 12th month. Results: Group 1 consists of 18 male and 1 female patients with an average age of 28.78 ± 3.50. Group 2 consists of 23 male and 4 female patients with an average age of 27.14 ± 3.65. Preoperative evaluation revealed significant differences in knee joint position sense values on wide range of knee motion (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°) in both groups. The statistically significant difference was observed in only the range of knee motion of 60° in patients underwent meniscal repair (group 2), whereas in the range of knee motion of 45°, 60°, and 75° in patients underwent partial meniscectomy (group 1) at 12th-month control. According to Lysholm knee scoring system, significantly better results were achieved with meniscal repair compared to the partial meniscectomy at 12th-month control. Conclusion: In case of ACL rupture accompanied by meniscal tear, the meniscal repair should be sutured, if possible, in order to obtain better results in terms of knee function and proprioception.

“…However, the results had no test validation. Bischoff and colleagues [61] proved several improvements in different regions, including proprioception, as a result of KT application in subjects affected by anterior cruciate ligament rupture. According to the findings reported above, it is possible to hypothesize that other indirect mechanisms might explain the results (Figure 2).…”

A Short Overview of the Effects of Kinesio Taping for Postural Spine Curvature Disorders

Spine curvature disorders are very common in the population. Several therapeutic methods have been implemented over time. Kinesio Taping (KT) is a solution that is utilized for several purposes. This narrative review aims to discuss KT methodology as a valid solution for spinal curvature disorders, especially for structured and non-structured spine deviations. The matter is poorly discussed in the current literature. Nevertheless, KT seems to indirectly influence posture and spine curvature disorders through peripheral and central nervous system stimulation, but further investigations are needed to demonstrate these unknown effects clearly. The present review provides a valuable contribution to the existing literature and may represent a starting point and a useful guide for further studies in this field of research.

Effects on proprioception by Kinesio taping of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament rupture

Abstract: The use of KT has a positive effect on proprioception in patients with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Therefore, the application may improve gait pattern as well as the subjective function of the affected knee joint.
